SilverZ;

I do not have time to download a version from the site to see if it has been changed in the last week by the author;
I will make time later; for now; please try this; if this does not register you then something is difinetly up with your version...

First if your name is for instance Mike; type Mike into the Registration name area;
Now to calculate the value for Mike we need to get our ASCII character chart out...
First the values of your name are changed from Upper case letters in the code check area; they are changed to lower case letters and those lower case leters are what are used as the value for calculating the Reg Key...
You still can use the upper case letter "M" in Mike when you type in your name to be registered; but you can not use the Upper case Value of M in making your calculation to determine the KEY value.
Upper case M=4d
lower case m=6d

I could simply GIVE you the number so you can do a quick check to see if you can register this; but the following will help you much more if the number does work...

M=converted to lower case value= 'm' =6d
i=69
k=6b
e=65

Now get out out your MS calculator...located at your start buttonProgramsAccessoriescalculator...
In the View menu make sure that the 'scientific option is checked marked.
In the area where it says:
Hex.....Dec.....Oct.....Bin
Make sure that hex is marked with a dot.

Now add the above values together;
6d+69+6b+65...your answer will be...1A6

Now having found in the code area that this value will be Xored by the number 89 and then that value Xored by the number 33, to arrive at the final value of "KEY" value.
Now do this:

1A6 is displayed in the box as your answer to the above calculation...
now; click on the xor button;then on the number 89; then click on the = button; the answer is 12F.

xor 1a6,89=12F

Now click on Xor button & then the number 33; click = button; the answer is 11c. Now the code also had an instruction to ADD '1'...
So now click the + and the number '1'. the answer now is:
11D
Now click on the DEC (decimal equivalent)initial;(put a dot in the box; Now the calculation box holds the Decimal value of the calculated hex value.
11D=285 decimal.
After typing in your TEST name of Mike
Type the number 285 in the Registration Key box;
Click Okay;
You should now get the Happy Halloween you are Registered.
If so; now take a look at your Registry information and note what has occured; Delete it and get back to work; :)

If not then; you must have a version that has already been changed and I; or someone; may have to download another version, in case you and others still need help...
I hope this does it for you.

Thanks for your continued efforts in this project.
