		Distributing your serial number is illegal and is no 
			different than distributing illegal 
				copies of the registered 
				 software. Violation of
					this rule may 
					  result in 
			temporary or permanent revocation of this
			     license and cancellation of the 
			              serial number; 
				   the original licensee
			   will also be held responsible for 
			    damages, physical and estimated.


   Do not distribute your crack release based on this tutorial, because
   you become a LAMER(s)!!!!!!!!
   ( tHATDUDE (PC97) defined LAMER(s) is the guy who sits in front of
   personal computer, using Hex Editor, ripping off other group(s)
   crack release, repacking (distro) them under his name. 
   Adopted from newsgroup alt.cracks, alt.crackers - February 1997 ) 

    More about LAMER(s):
	lamer /n./ [prob. originated in skateboarder slang]
	Synonym for luser, not used much by hackers but common among warez 
	d00dz, crackers, and phreakers. Oppose elite. Has the same connota
	tions of self-conscious elitism that use of luser does among 
	hackers.
