- this has been corrected to read V2.00a
-
- NOV$KEY - Run Novell w/o Keycard Release 1.1
- (C) Copyright 1987 - Allan Teo - ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
-
- NOV$KEY is a MS-DOS (tm) compatible program that modifies
- Advanced Netware (tm) Version 2.0a so you no longer need the keycard.
- This program is not designed for you to Pirate/steal etc Novell's software.
- Sometimes the keycard will not function past 11Mhz+ bus speeds which
- will result in a 'security violation'. Nov$key solves this problem
- and in doing so, frees up a valuable slot in the network file server.
- For whatever legal reason you will use this program, use it on your own
- paid for, legal version of Advanced Netware. Hidden serial numbers
- are not removed by NOV$KEY. If you pirate your novell netware, you
- can still be tracked down!
-
- I have tested this program with the protected mode advanced 286 version.
- But the following should work with NOV$KEY:
-
- Advanced NetWare 86; Advanced NetWare 286 Dedicated
- Non-Dedicated; System Fault Tolerant Levels 1 and 2.
-
- To get rid of your keycard perform the following steps:
- (By the way you do not need the key card for this process)
-
-
- Make backup copies of the three (3) GENOS diskettes.
- Make Drive A: the default drive. Place the KeyCard
- Eliminator diskette in Drive A: Type GEN$KEY and press <ENTER>
-
- USE the BACKUP diskettes for this operation. KEEP the originals now!
-
- You will be prompted to insert the GENOS diskette in
- Drive A: Follow the instructions displayed.
-
- If you are working with System Fault Tolerant Level 2,
- there will be four (4) GENOS diskettes and you will use GENOS diskette #4.
-
- In any case if there is any problem, use the DIR command to
- look for the file net$os.obj
-
- A monitor program called NOV.EXE is included so you can see what
- the keycard is emiting. Type NOV at the dos prompt with the keycard
- inserted. The little black blob on the card is probably only a small
- PAL or some special ROM which contains the serial number. Port
- address of the card starts at HEX 238. Port 238 and 239 always return 0.
-
- License:
- This program is NOT FREE.
- If you find it of use , please send $20.00 US/Can to the following address for
- each machine you use it on to:
-
- Allan ,
- 17 Siak Kew Ave
- 0Singapore 1334
- Republic of Singapore.
-
- You are encouraged to distribute this program to as many bbs as possible.
- You should not charge a fee of more than $3.00 for copying this software.
-
- Warranty:
- Well as I say again, you have been instructed to make BACKUP COPIES
- of your GENOS diskettes. Work only with the backup copies.
- Nov$key directly modifies net$os.obj, it does not make a backup.
- If it does not work, then you probably do not have version 2.00a.
-
-
-
- Do not, under any circumstances copy INSTALL.EXE and DISKED.EXE to the
- diskette or hardrive which NET$OS.EXE resides. If you do so you will have
- problems. INSTALL.EXE and DISKED.EXE are normally found together
- in the INSTALL diskette. But they are never found on the same diskette
- as NET$OS.EXE.
-
- INSTALL.EXE and DISKED.EXE contains additional keycard checks
- and if mixed with net$os.exe on the same diskette, they become explosive!
