NO MORE !!!

I can promise that from now on anyone who claims to have searched
and didn't will have their posts removed.

If you have searched and none of those 12 posts did not help you,
tell us why they did not help.

Woodmann

Just to be completely fair:

We shouldn't count his own post as one "existing" post on vbox cracking. But there are 11 "others."

Regards,

Actually, if you read closely, you'll see that he DIDN'T search.



Guess I didn't read the small print of the EULA myself. Never knew one could sue the search feature.

Fake

well belive me you can, they didnt help me because i am trying to use olly. i did use the search feature and read those i found more then 11 (12 including mine) but none tell you how to use olly to crack or whatever word you want to use, to remove the time limit.

So.........

If you read those threads. Why did you not tell us that you read them, and why they did not help you.

This will go a long way to helping you.

Woodmann

I would suggest you quit looking for a step by step recipe, either for the method for removing the time limit, or for someone to give you the proper search parameters.

Let's say NO ONE has EVER figured out how to remove the time limit from this protection. What would you do then? How about starting at square one and using standard classic reversing techniques? By now you *should* have already gotten as much information as possible using Filemon, Regmon, an API monitor, a Message Spy, etc... Protection detects these? Figure out a way to hide them.

At least *some* of the info obtained from these tools should give you a clue what to look for. But let's say you still can't quite figure out how this hypothetical never-before-cracked protection sets a time limit. *Now* is the time you come to us, outline what you have done and what you have discovered, and ask for help.


Where do I get off saying this? Well besides being good advice, it *appears* that you haven't progressed past glancing at the search hits that Woodmann gave you. He used "vbox 4.6.2" only. If I use "vbox Olly*" I get a few hits not listed in the first search and 'time limit' is specifically discussed in some of them. What about trying 'vbox + time limit or trial or expired or...' what do you get?

If I simply use "vbox" I get 99 hits! Ah, but you don't want to read through 99 posts do you? Can't really blame you, but that's not the point, you need to be willing to put in the work if you can't find a ready answer, and that includes using other tools to do your own reversing research.

Like Woodmann said, people need feedback from you on what you have read and tried and why it didn't help, as opposed to simply reciting the ever popular 'I searched' disclaimer.
