hi all
I have a software that has somekind of a "server check" every time that i activate the software it connects to a server on the web and check its database the serial and username ,if not found it deactivates my software.

how can i remove the "sever check"?

Well, for experimenting with it, you could always add their website to your hosts file, and fire up a web server... (find he name of the site, add it to your \winnt\drivers\hosts file pointing to 127.0.0.1, run IIS or Apache or PWS or YouGetTheIdea, set up a page that says HeGotzPermision).

Alternatively, you could set a break on TCP/IP calls and CreateProcess calls, find where they are connecting, and force it to return good. This approach is nicer because you don't have a web server to maintain, but it depends on what you are more familiar with: FrontPage or HexWorkshop.

But the best way, is to download the crack for CuteFTP (as CuteFTP does the same, serial number checked on the server, not user machine), and see how that is bypassed.

i tried with hex workshop and ifound out where it connects to and then i just changed the server address and it can't connect any more.
