Well, I don't think I'm going ahead of schedule with this, but if I am, lemme know and I'll back off. When you put in your random serial number, and push ok (to register), I noticed that (when looking at Regmon), the program sets 'Key' 'Name' and 'Company' to whatever you put in, and then it does a 'QueryValuEx' on 'Key' 'Name' and 'Company'. It makes sence to me that that must be it checking to see if you put in the right info to register. As of right now, I don't know how I'd go about using that information to crack the program, but I'm sure I'll find out soon enough.
Second: At the end of each set of operations (again, looking at regmon), there is always
252.36758800 Acoustic QueryValueEx 0xC1960770\c:\windows\media\ding.wav
NOTFOUND
I don't understand this....As far as i can tell, it is checking the value of c:\windows\media\ding.wav and it always says 'NOTFOUND'. I checked, and ding.wav is there, so I don't know what is 'not found'. Somebody know what the deal is with this?Third: When setting the clock ahead past your 30 days, when starting the program (and yes, looking at regmon), it does a 'QueryValueX' to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion, and to HKCU\Software\Acon AS\Acoustica\2.0\General\MainDirectory and to 0xC1960740\C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\SYNTPFCS (and also does a QueryValueX to other places, but I figured I'd just list a few). It didn't do any of these things durring my trial period. Once again, I don't know how I can use this information or really even understand it, right now I'm just trying to FIND as much info as I can, even if i don't understand it all.
Thanks,
