참고하세요. ^^
우선 VA X는 Armadillo라는 라이센스를 사용한다고 합니다.
그래서..레지스트에서 Armadillo의 라이센스 정보를 지우고, 환경변수 %TEMP%에 정의된 폴더속에 있는 어떤
임시 파일도 지우고.. 레지스트에 가짜 COM정보도 지우면.. trial기간이 초기화되서 한달간 더
사용할수 있습니다. 한달후에도 다시 같은 과정을 해줘야죠.
그럼 이제 자세하게 설명드리겠습니다..
HKLM -> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
HKCU -> HKEY_CURRENT_USER
HKCR -> HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
1. 시작버튼->실행을 누른후.. explorer %TEMP% 라고 입력해서
환경변수 TEMP에 등록된
임시 폴더를 알아냅니다.
그리고 그 폴더의 모든파일을 지웁니다.
(임시
폴더에 생성된 라이센스에 관련된 어떤 파일 하나를 지우기 위해서입니다..)
2.
레지스트 편집기를 실행하시고 편집메뉴->찾기->찾을대상에 "값"을 선택하고 "nLxxQ"로 검색합니다.(""는 제외합니다.)
검색해서
나온 CLSID를 서브키까지 모두 지웁니다.
저는 HKCR\CLSID\{5373DE59-FD7C-AA67-4D4B-7DDACF915A49}에 있더군요.
(CLSID번호는
컴퓨터마다 모두 다를겁니다. VA X의 새버전을 깔면 또 바뀔지도 모르겠네요,,)
3. 레지스트 편집기를 실행하시고.. HKLM\Software\Licenses를 찾아서 서브키까지 모두 지웁니다.
4.
혹시 모르니 재부팅 하시면 기한연장 끝입니다. (재부팅 안해도 될거 같습니다만..)
저는 아래 원문의 방법대로 순서대로 다 했습니다만.. 그렇게까지 복잡하게까지 할필요는 없는것
같습니다. 위에 말한것처럼만 해도 될것 같더군요. 물론 확인을 못해봐서 확신은 못합니다.
한달후에 또 등록하라는 창이 뜨면 위와 같은 과정을 반복해 주시면 될겁니다.
앞으로 자주 업데이트 되는 VA X의 어떤 버전에도 적용됩니다. 토마토라는 회사가
Armadillo를 사용안하기 전까지는요.
======================= 원문 ==================================
VA X trial
period can be reset in three fairly easy steps:
1.
Delete Armadillo licences registry entry
2. Delete VA's fake temporary file
in system %TEMP% folder
3. Delete VA's fake COM component entry
in the registry
> Step 1
VA
uses Armadillo protection. This step is as simple as it
gets: use regedit and delete Armadillo licenses key HKLM\Software\Licenses
and
all its subkeys.
> Step 2
In order to
find out which temp file is actually VA's file, delete all
files from
system %TEMP% folder.
Launch VSNET 2003 and wait
until it's loaded or until VA trial dialog pops up.
Go
to system %TEMP% folder; there should be just one .tmp file
created by
VA/Armadillo. Write down its name for the next
trial period reset and delete it.
Exit VA and VSNET 2003.
> Step 3
You'll need Regmon (www.sysinternals.com).
Launch
Regmon and specify that you wish to monitor only VSNET 2003
process (devenv.exe).
Launch VSNET 2003 and watch Regmon logging registry access.
When VSNET is loaded (or when VA trial dialog pops up),
stop Regmon's registry
capture.
Exit VA/VSNET 2003 before proceeding.
In
the Regmon's list search for the very first occurence of the
text ""HKCU\Software\Whole Tomato". You'll see something like
devenv.exe:3196 OpenKey HKCU\Software\Whole Tomato SUCCESS Key: 0xE1844558
From that
line manually scroll down searching for the very first line where
the key
HKCU\CLSID\{<some guid>} or key HKCR\CLSID\{<some guid>} is accessed.
This line will probably
be a several hundred lines away from the line where you started searching, and it will
look be something like this:
devenv.exe:3196 OpenKey HKCU\CLSID\{BC29421E-12B6-4630-A281-E18D215BC63E}
In order to verify
that it is indeed the guid that belongs to VA protection
scheme, launch
regedit and go to that key. If that
key has a value with the strange name such
as
"nLxxQ", it's the one you are looking for. Don't let the
meaningful name of the component
confuse you; it is a
part of the protection.
Delete the guid key and all
its subkeys. Congratulations, you have just reset VA trial period.
> Notes
To reset trial period next time it's enough
do go directly to the keys mentioned above
and to
delete them. Don't forget to delete .tmp file too.
Note,
however, that the guid is different for each machine and it
might (and will) change
from one VA version to another.
The same goes for temporary file, even though currently
it
has the same name on all machines. Don't count on that.
The above procedure will work with future VA versions, as
long as they don't change
their protection scheme.
