You are not trying to bruteforce it, just to bypass its authentication.

Remove the Length Check so you don't have to enter a serial.

You do not want to simulate a button push, just to skip the authentication routine after having patched the executable here and there.

I've no time to "play" (in the literal sense ) with it now, but as far as I know, it is an ActiveMark protected executable.

Have a look at http://community.reverse-engineering.net/viewtopic.php?t=3384
