Yeah...my names on that list. I lost interest once I realized that its not a protector persay, rather an add-on. I unpack, I don't keygen, inline, patch, etc...

Its an *.ocx (ActiveX) control protected with neolite, designed for VB developers.

It can be removed all you have to do is remove all the DLLFunction calls, it doesn't even compress the executable, but the key is his stipulations of what he considers a successful cracking of his protection:
Code:
1) Code-Lock will register a program with any registration code.
This would require modification of the *.ocx control so that its not application specific; possible but not likely since it needs the application ID to generate the registration code

Code:
2) The registered version protected by Code-Lock will run on any computer.
This would require modification of the *.ocx control so its not computer specific; possibel but not likely since a hardware ID is used to generate the registration code

Code:
3) You have to crack Code-Lock within 60 days of the Challenge.
Considering its written in VB, I'll give it 4 of 10 stars....but uncrackable, not even StarForce can make that claim, and its renowned for its complexity, and difficulty.

Peace...
