Overview.
~~~~~~~~~
The purpose of Date Crack+ is to easily enable you to execute date limited
software after it's normal expiry date. Date Crack+ is completely comm
and
line driven thus enabling a single copy to be used with multiple programs.
The author does NOT condone the use of this software for illegal purposes
and will not be held responsible for any misuse of this product.
Operation.
~~~~~~~~~~
Place DATECRCK.EXE in a folder of your choice, anywhere on your system, the
only requirement is that MSVBVM50.DLL (Visual Basic runtimes) is installed
in your Windows\system folder.
To use Date Crack+ you need to create a shortcut to DATECRCK.EXE along with
the parameters required by your date limited application as follows.
The example below uses MYAPP.EXE as the date limted program, 22 March 1
998
as the date required to allow it to function and using the option to open
the application in a maximised window.
DATECRCK.EXE C:\Program Files\Myapp.exe, 27/03/98, 1
To view a brief help screen use the following:
DATECRCK.EXE -?
To view the About dialog box use:
DATECRCK.EXE -A
After viewing either the help screen or the about dialog, Date Crack+
will close down when the appropriate button is clicked.
How it works.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Date Crack+ simply changes your system date to that specified on the command
line for approximately ten seconds while it executes the application.
After
the ten second delay has expired Date Crack+ simply restores your computer
s
system date back to the current date. As most date limited applications only
check the system date when they first start running, the ten second delay is
normally enough time to allow the application to start.
This program has been made as foolproof as possible although the author
hasn't tested the program...
