Request for Help

[stockard]

Hello,

I'm not sure if you can help me out.  I am hoping that you can or at least point me in the direction of someone who can.

I am a teacher and I use an old DOS software program to keep track of student grades.  I recently started using the program again, but do not have the registration code for it.

The version I have now is shareware and I can no longer get a registered version as the author died about 5 years ago.

The last version of the software that I have was released about 10 years ago.

Do you know any one who would be able to get the software registered in my name?

I have 2 version of the software.

The first version I have is the newest version, which is about 10 years old.  It has a registration code that you need to enter into a separate utility that hard codes your name into the program itself.

The second version I have is an older version and is registered to another user.  If I would be unable to get the first version registered to me, I would like to have this version changed to my name.  The name is some how hard coded into the program.

Do you think you can help or know of someone who could?

Thanks so much.

What I would suggest is looking into other programs.  A DOS program is pretty outdated.  There are some really good free ones out there that are made for exactly what you're doing.  Take a look at these, they're all shareware:

Or go to http://www.filebasket.com and search for "gradebooks"

And, you don't have to do anything illegal (like have a cracked copy)

If you don't want to do that, try looking around at http://www.google.com.  Try putting in the name of the program followed by "serialz" or "crackz"

I think the question I would ask first is "Who would sue me if i did this?"....

If you can answer that, call them. If not, then just crack it and move on...
