A messagebox say you : This version has expired ... So , set a breakpoint on getlocaltime like this: BPX GetLocalTime run the prog and he we break in softice !!!! Cool !! , press F12 to go back to the call and we see: 40623D 66813FCF07 CMP WORD PTR [EDI],07CF <= 7CF(h) = 1999(d) it compare with the year 1999 406242 7F3C JG 406280 <= if it geater than 1999 goto bad boy :( 406244 7C07 JL 40624D <== if less goto good boy :) ...... .......... ....................... heheh , so how to crack this ? Very easy , it compares with the year 1999 , and jump to error message if the year is greater that 1999.We can nop it , but it not needed coz , he test if is less than this year with the command : JL 40624D , it jump to the program if the year is good , so we will make it jump for ever !! so JL 40624D become jump 40624D to try this in memory , without patching the file coz it is packed , type: a 40624D and press enter then type : jump 40624D and press enter. Press escape and now F5 to let him runing ! Cool , we have now a nag sreen , but we don't see the error message , for expirer verion .. you did it !!

F12 to get out the call and we see : 40625B FF1530744000 Call [USER32!MessageBoxA] <== this is the call for the messagebox ! ..... ............ ......................... So , if we want to kill the nag , we just have to nop the call !! replace : FF1530744000 909090909090 so to try the crack completely , put a bpx on getlocaltime , do the modification like we do first and atfer type : a 40625B nop enter then type nop , 5 times again and escape after this type bd * for disable all breakpoint and press F5 , you will go in Crakpad without a time limit message or NAG !!!!!
