Any direction on how to crack this i tryd IDA but only usefull info i got of it i should understand ws that the program was made whit borland
i allsow tryd resource hacker on it this gave me info in clear text, whit some reference to the license stuff but from what i can tell of it it was an exsample of a volume serial whit a license code. I tryd to alter my volume serialbut it didnt work so this excample is probaly a dummy serial based on how the serial look like if the volume id is XXXX.

I would search for code written using Borland languages that could access the volume serial #. Then, search for that function call in IDA. That SHOULD take you right to the function used to compute the key.

Also, if it's written in Delphi or the like, you could use DeDe (Delphi Decompiler), that might help you some as well.

i tryd running the delphi decompiler but im not getting any output i use the 8.11 version.

I allsow runned peid to verify that the file was borland c++ and it was

oh wrong decompier i got hold of ^^

When asking you for a serial does it display your volume serial no.? If not it's not likely this is actually used in the calculation routine as most people would have no idea how to supply that info to the authors, I've seen this pop up during serial fishing as well as a couple of times my Win key number, I think it quite likely is diversion or you're fishing the wrong routine.

the hd serialnumber is loaded into a second window when i hit a: Get hd serial number button.

Info in that windows shows my hd serial number and instuction where to send the hd serial number.


Note: the serial stuff is version independant since you are not required to submit what version of the program you are useing

HUH! first time I've heard of that one, just humor me and do an ascii search in a hex editor for FlexLM, the hard drive serial number used to be used quite often as the HOSTID, just curious, if it's Borland, chances are it's not, but you never know, and I have seen apps that generate a node-locked license based on a serial number input.

tried searching for FlexLm in a hex editor nothing.
