There seems to be a lot of information which can be gathered from the dead code and help screens even before starting to crack. The help screen suggests that there is an annoying reminder, but I couldn't get it to pop up. It also tells you that once registered, your name is displayed. Registration also 'unlocks' two additional card sets and allows two player mode. Also, the help screen also shows that the program can be Unregistered - a nice feature. The dead code shows a lot of information related to registering the program. There is a string reference to "The program has been modified" which suggests it can recoginize a crack, but I didn't get this message at any time (lucky I guess). There is also a string reference to non-hexadecimal characters. I couldn't get this message to pop either, but you cannot enter non hexidecimal characters in the code. I tried and it won't accept them, but the message doesn't pop. You can enter up to 16 characters in the code. A wrong code entered pops the "Sorry, the registration code does not match..." message. About box says "Unregistered evaluation copy". Registration code is checked when the program loads and displays the "Sorry, the registration code does not match..." message if the wrong code is recorded. I won't say where it is recorded yet. Registration name is also recorded but this can be deleted and the program still thinks its registered. No need to find the 'real' serial but I suspect that is the next step. dIce
