Ilok -> Pace-> A solution ;-)

[taos]

Hi:
I've worked very hard with a program packed with ILOK (last version 2004).

1st. It's very hard to break this protection (you know uses ring 0 driver).
2nd. There is not information about his driver TPKD.SYS
3.It searchs the file NTICE.SYS and the registry key of Numega.

Well, there's a solution to renew the trial date.
If you have not a dongle (usb) then you have a trial demo (xx days and fully).

In older versions (Installshield program protected) used 2 keys in the registry, if you delete the keys then renew the trial period.
In this version it stores 4 keys in the registry, 2 with a unique name and 2 with random names, and in the HD stores several files (a file with Javathread.mxp name,etc...) , but the most important it's that USES ALTERNATE DATA STREAMS!!!!

In the folder program files\internet explorer and in the folder outlook express, it's attach information using ALTERNATE DATA STREAMS.
If you delete the keys in the registry, the files and the ADS files then.... voil�, RENEW your trial date, you have xx days again.
The ADS are attached to a folder, not to a file, and when you're going to rename this folders, the SO tell you that the folders are been used by another person or program.
To delete the ADS I use a freeware tool from Sysinternals (Streams v1.5).
If someon is interesting in this method of renew the trial I can do a program that make it.

Regards.
