    okay;
    Thank you HarvestR;
    I believe I follow that line of reasoning.

    Here is something I wonder about:

    I have made all the changes as described to esp+10; I have saved this in hex editor; the change is now permanent;

    I look in my Registry and the User name and code are there;

    I 'unregister' it;
    I open registry; name and usercode are gone;
    I now re-open and fill in very same username and code as was in registry;
    and "sorry box pops";
    I go and check hexedit and esp+10 line is STILL esp +14 ...So this function check is still present...

    So any value I put in the Reg box should still be compared at esp+10 (now; still; esp+14 the change we made) and return a good value; but it does not;

    So there must be a "check" before... (it gets to the esp+10 area that kicks us out)... to the "registry" for information because when The Registry is empty of user & code value I get the sorry box to anything I type in despite the esp+10 change to +14 still present and working in my edited source...bla bla...

    But when I open registry and fill in ANY username and Any new Number it once again is registered.....

    #1 because it has retrieved value in Registry
    #2 and then moved on to compare at our esp+10 change...

    Have I viewed this correctly?

    And IF so;
    Was there another place in the code where it checks your registry... where we could have made a change or changes that would have affected this program to be registered BEFORE we got to these calc checks...?

    Thanks
    Jeff
