Coa_chezI succeeded !! (I won't spoil it)Sun Nov 8 06:48:39 1998 Hi everyone,I succesfully cracked the program, (i'm newby, only cracked 6 programs on my own)Here what my info is:1)The program checks this in the regestry : HKCUSoftwareNoktasoftwareUninstallmanagerReg got this from regmon (look in regmon -> all the occurences that say NOT FOUND and check what key isn't found) Be sure to put the filter option on.2)Regkey must be an Integer value (try putting a word as regkey in the registration box, also 99999999999 won't work...)I used Filemon, but i couldn't see anything interesting.I checked the .ini file in the directory of UM but, it didn't look interestingThen i fired up Wdasm:3)the string "Silicon Surfer[PC] (from PC cracking group?) if you use this crackers name you might (i said you might) get into trouble4)String "reg" looked nice after i saw this in RegMon. Go to this call and you'll see it's always preceded by SoftwareNoktasoftwareUninstallmanager. This triggered my thoughts (oh yeah, there are 3 times the program uses these strings)So if the key was correct, it would write the regkey or registered version flag in the registry, so it has to execute this code when key is correct.Thats all the info i needed to crack this program. But i must admit, i needed softice. But that i will not discuss for now. How my approach was will be in a next post (when Sandman gives the green light to use Softice)So with this info you should succeed too !!Good luckCoa_chez
