Hi all... Looking forward to learning some good skills.
1.1
when prog first starts there is a nag screen telling version# and evaluation period of 30 days. Also a counter with amount of days left in
evaluation period. We have three buttons1 evaluate removes nag screen and lets you evaluate prog.
2 purchase opens a pop up box with instructions on how to reg the prog.
3 register opens the reg box
While the nag screen is visible you can't proceed or exit the prog.
If you try to reg the prog it fails(cause I don't have a reg # yet...)and
keeps popping on reg box. Only way out is to hit Evaluate1.2 Using w32dasm I found numerous string ref
"Registered to" "Registerinfo" " The evaluation period has expired"
"The key does not match the license" "Unregistered" and the good one
"Your license is registered. Thank"I also saw a ref for" hour" "minutes" "second" I don't know if this is for
keeping trak of amount of time left for evaluation.....
1.3
I believe it is a dialogbox hwnd 07941.4
REg info is stored in the registry
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/software/acon as/acoustica/2.0/registerinfo
I didn't see any info that looked like a date, so I think there a routine
in the program that get's the system time and date and checks against
the date it was installed. However where the install date is kept, I'm at
a loss.
