Hi..

This is my first post on this forum. thinking I would get some help from the fellows around here, I put this question(Well Im newbie dont be bothered if unable to explain details properly).
Im having a software which is asking for a serial No. for continuing setup. although I had read all sorts of materials Im unable to find or fish any serial through which I could find the Key for the SETUP.EXE to continue the Installation. please help me find it if there is any other way to be followed.

Thank You...

Oh well ...

Tuts and essays, tuts and essays. Promise you'll read till your eyes are close to pop out. And while you're doing that, you can try using this approach:

1. If the app is asking for a serial number, and won't continue if it doesn't get one, then it must accept some input
2. If the app accepts some input, it must validate said input in some manner, in order to determine whether to continue with the installation.
3. The app asks for a serial number.
4. Hence, there is a validation check or checks somewhere.

So, you gotta follow the input. A typical way in is getdlgitemtext (a or w), getwindowtext (a or w), and others like it. Perhaps a bmsg might work. If the app produces a "Wrong serial you fucking nitwit son of dumb motherfucking lowlife newbie cracker" you can try to break on it and work your way backwards from that point. If you're smart, you'll try and locate the input-calls AND the msgbox call - because somewhere in between in the code flow, the validation will occur.

Hope the help gets you further. Sorry for the abuse.
