HeHe, This program have to be one of the best I have seen in my lifetime.. The coders hava laied mroe work in their program instead of coding one hell of a hard lisence check.. I love Data Village for their program from this date... 

This program ain't compressed or encryptes with anything as Language 2000 can tell me.. If you are looking at this program so have it only one serial to enter and I guess that it not are generated from any ID's that U have on ur PC... So Try to enter one invalis serial and you will get the bad MessageBox, wich tells me this. "Sorry, you have entred an incorrect  code. Please try again." Well, yeah, we WILL try again to crack this little baby :)

Open the comic.exe in you W32Dasm and take a little nap coz it's 1,5 MB to Dis Assemble and that cant ake some time on bad computers. (sorry Dark Wolf)

And as you now can guess, try to look at the String Data References and you can find this string "Sorry, you have entred an incorrect " well, click on it and U will end up here.

* Possible StringData Ref from Code Obj ->"Sorry, you have entered an incorrect "    <-- Bad MEssage
                                        ->"code.  Please try again."                 <-- Bad Message
                                  |
:00502918 B8E8295000              mov eax, 005029E8    <-- Sorry, I cant understand thisone yet..
:0050291D E87A14F4FF              call 00443D9C        <-- This will show you the bad MessageBox

Now, just scroll some lines up and you can see this dis assembled code...

* Possible StringData Ref from Code Obj ->"IEnjoyComicBooks"    <-- What is this ??
                                  |
:005028EA BA94295000              mov edx, 00502994        
:005028EF E85416F0FF              call 00403F48        <-- In ehre are the code compared
:005028F4 7517                    jne 0050290D
:005028F6 6A00                    push 00000000
:005028F8 668B0DA8295000          mov cx, word ptr [005029A8]
:005028FF B202                    mov dl, 02

* Possible StringData Ref from Code Obj ->"Thank you.  Your software is now "    <-- Yess
                                        ->"registered"                            <-- :D
                                  |
:00502901 B8B4295000              mov eax, 005029B4

To be honest wuth you so have i to say that I don't understand the whole of this debug code but I now that "IEnjoyComicBooks" is the correct serial.. Just try it if you want :)

Ending

Well, as I said again, Datta Village have to work for the people and now only for some stupid money.. Ad you could see in the protection, I have to greet them alot for this.. Great work !!!
