Help, registration cloned many pcs

Post by Estebanito »

When you register the system with "Enigma Protector" 2 chains are created in the Windows registry.

-Route assigned in REGISTRATION FEATURES-Registration
-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Enigma Protector\

I noticed that when you copy these settings and run them on any PC, the system is registered, I wonder how I can prevent this?

Hi Estebanito, yes, this is normal. You just copy registration information to another PC and, of course, it also works. It is same as you register program on another PC.

To fix this, you have to use hardware locked registration keys. I.e. the registration key should be locked to a particular PC where it will be working only.

Sometimes, protection produces same hardware id for multiple computers. Often this happens if program is being registered under virtual system like VMWare. To avoid this, the Checkup - Virtualization Tools can be used.
Also, I recommend to enable more than one options in Registration Features - Hardware Lock panel.

Forces to create a different executable for each PC would be a lot of work.

I did not mean to use this feature, I meant using Hardware Locked registration keys. Hardware ID you should enter in Keys Generator, and not where you shown.

Take a look at this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpTpI0VOoZ8

There is carefully described how to create registration keys based on a computer's hardware id.
