Retrieve a value after PC format

(1/6) > >>

Coder:
Hello guys,

I wrote a few data to a registry for my first small trial routine to a friend of mine and after the trial version was expired, he formatted his PC and the routine starts working over once again.  :cry:

Is there a way to work around this issue ?

Thanks in advance.

No data stored locally will survive a format of the OS; one possible solution is to have your program 'phone home' by contacting a web server to validate the license.

of course
there is no need to format the hard drive
tell your friend that he can use a registry spy (classified*)
it will show what values your app is writing to the registry
then he can simply delete them

i hope i've understood your question correctly ;)

Coder:
Thank you Lee for your confirmation and suggestion.

Vovka, please modify your reply and remove the spy details since that would be a nightmare to programmers and thanks for letting me know this before I dive deeper into registry field.  :lol:

Thanks.

of course there are also file monitors :)
being a paranoid i make snapshots of my registry and filesystem now and then
i may say these protection methods are weak
