reg'd then unreg'd

[devOnair]

Okay - say (hypothetickally speaking, of course) one has cracked some prog so that any ol' garbage typed in the name and serial gets the glorious "Thank You for Registering" screen and access to all features. Kewl. However when one closes then reopens the prog, it's unregistered again :-( Sure it's easy to register every time, but that's a nuisance, dig... Can anyone point me to a tute or offer advice on keeping the thing reg'd? I'd appreciate it.
Thanx.

what programm?
it no use if you only change JZ to JMP(or other),
the best way is get the right register code

[Hoof Arted]

Most apps like that do a check for the stored name and serial which is usually located in the registry. You can use something like Regmon to see which reg keys are being accessed.

When you enter your code, it writes that code to the reg. When the app starts up again, it reads this code again and re-calculates that the serial is wrong, thus, unregistering itself. You need to find the second serial check and disable that one too..

change the jump back then patch the code in the call above to make it return so that the jump is successful,... if there is a call of course. more than likey this call will be used again at the start of the program for further validation
