I know, I know, they're illegal. I'm not posting any specifics of anything so no one gets in trouble, but in short, I'm really not stealing anything......Honestly. I have a program that I can't find the serial number for. I've contacted the company several times and they haven't responded. So....I found a Keygen, but have never used one. Anyone know what to do...
in the zip file, there are four files
.diz
.rar
.nfo
.nfo
As soon as I unzip, the .nfo file opens and it's text, it reads....
Unzip, unrar, install.
Register with serial/activation code generated by our
keygen (you need to go through "..From Another
Computer" activation method). If you need to activate
ac3/mp3/mpeg plug-ins, also use "...From Another
Computer" activation (can be found in "File" -> "Save
As" -> select output format -> press "Custom" button)
and register plug-ins with codes from keygen. Special
note for folks who crying that plug-ins registration is
not working: It's written everywhere what do you need
exactly - serial or activation. Don't be lazy, read the
info! For these who still didn't got it: you need
activation, not serial.
What is unrar??? Does that mean make the .rar into a .exe or what? Any suggestions?
Justin
P.S. Of course I"m going to do this on the studio computer so I don't mess up my computer at home in case of a virus!

.rar is another form of compressed file like zip. It is also a common extension of files created by certain viruses, so watch out.
The most comprehensive free compression program I know of is STUFFIT--it will uncompress just about anything, including rar and unix tar. You can download it here:

Thanks
We'll see what happens. I might be fired today!

Well, It worked.
I downloaded WinRar and pulled the Keygen program. I haven't tried it yet, but the generator makes a bunch of random serial numbers. Hopefully it works, but at least it didn't crash the studio's computer.
Thanks for the help.

Mack,
.diz files are usually found with illegal downloads, they are what the cracker ID's the file with. It's usually just some ASCII art with the name of the program in it, along with who cracked it.
.rar is the extension for files that have been compressed with WinRAR instead of WinZip.
.nfo files are re-inserted after a crack to fool the host OS into thinking that the program has not been cracked. Most of them that you find in downloads are corrupt. A real .nfo file is a Microsoft file that identifies programs that can run on any Microsoft OS.
Hope that helps.
NOTE: if you are using a KeyGen to run your program, by all means do NOT register that program online. Even if you did legally purchase it, you would be illegally cracking it and the company could go after you.

They're not corrupt, they're actually info about the file, the team that cracked the file, and how to install the file. You just have to download an nfo viewer or open them in Notepad or otherwise they will say they're 'corrupt'ToonaRockGuy wrote: .nfo files are re-inserted after a crack to fool the host OS into thinking that the program has not been cracked.

However, In my illegal-software-downloading days I have never seen a .diz file..
Up and going
Thanks guys. I got it up and running. I originally bought the program, like I said, but after graduating college, moving to florida, and moving within florida once, that paperwork is long gone!
Toona,
The cracked worked, but I don't plan on re-registering it for any reason. I know the program well enough that I'll never need tech support, so I should be safe....right?

You should be fine, just don't use any online features that it may have, and just ignore any registering prompts that you may get. Glad to be of assistance!

.nfo files are not corrupt, they are information files. Like stated you have to use notepad to view them or download an nfo viewer. A diz file is the same thing as a nfo file. They just have less ifnormation in them.bfoust wrote:They're not corrupt, they're actually info about the file, the team that cracked the file, and how to install the file.

There are two types of .nfo files, one is a binary file used by Microsoft to store system information, the other is a text file that is included with software cracks that contains info about the crack.
The "corrupt file" error happens when the Microsoft system information viewer tries to open the .nfo file from a crack as a binary, when it is actually a text file. Binaries and text files have different line feeds in Microsoft land. The .nfo files contained in cracks have to be opened with a text viewer like notepad, but Windows associates the .nfo file extension with it's sytem information viewer. Holding down the shift key and right clicking on an nfo file will pop up a menu containing an "Open With" selection that will allow you to open the file with a text viewer.
BTW I haven't used any software cracks in a long time. There is too much to lose by trusting everything on your machine to a hacker. We have no idea who these people are, just that they are shady characters.

Alot of what is happening these days Ron are key generators. With them there is no need for a crack, or patch. About the only thing you have to do before you use one is run an antivirus on the zip or rar file. Other than that, they come in quite nice.
Not saying that I pirate everything I have or anything .. LOL ...

I believe it, M$ is one of the most "Pirated" companies out there .. Their activation scheme was cracked the day after it was released ..Punkinhead wrote:Yeah, there's a document out by an avid Microsoft hater that has a working crack for everything they have....f.sciarrillo wrote:Alot of what is happening these days Ron are key generators.

I know it's amazing. I mean, You have people who pay 1800 for Adobe Creative Suite, and, you have people who don't ... Just depends on the person. You find Piracy among college at the highest rank, mostly because they can't all afford the thousands of dollars they will have to pay for the software they need for the classes they are taking. Take Boreland C++ for example, It students use it, it cost around $4,000.00 .. That is crazy ..Hurricane wrote:You mean people actually pay for software? OMG! Wheres the fun in that..
