Hi all, I got a couple more questions:
1) So, now that I have save the project file (as Zook suggested), and I have found a few "string reference" to things like "The evaluation period has expired" and "The key does not match license "... so, now what do I do?
2) Some of you mentioned that you have found the "They key does not match license " window to be of a particular type... how do I go about finding what type of window it is? I have downloaded and installed Borland Resource Workshop (which is what someone recommended), but I do not know what to do with it... I tried making a new resource file and then File->Add Files to Project... but then it will crash every time I select acoustica.exe and press OK. Any ideas?
3) Below are my attempts to answer some of the questions of Task 1, please comment to tell me if I have the right idea.
Task I.1 The program has an evaluation period of 30 days, and if the program is unregistered, it will pop up with a nag screen every time and say "This is day # of your 30 day evaluation period". Also, there are three buttons on this nag screen... one is just continue Evaluation, one is Purchase which just go to the help file and show you how to buy the program, and one is Register which will pop up a serial number entry box... and it seems to check the serial number entered based on the name/company entered. If a wrong serial is put in, it will say "The key does not match license owner"
Task I.2 As I said earlier, I found a few string references to "The key does not match license " (although the word "owner" seems to go on the next line instead of together with the rest of the string, don't know if this has any significance), etc. Otherwise, I can't make heads and tails of it.
Task I.3 Don't know how to find out at all
Task I.4 Don't know how to find out either
Task I.5 same as above
Hope someone can help!
