SoftLock/HardLock

JMI:
hehe thx for your opinion, but dont worry, i usually try search net first, and did all what you've told

dyn!o:
thx for interesting informations. (btw its SoftLock not SafeLock
I already tried patched iceext for ds3.1 but after some time of program was running my computer restart.
As i said i tried to break on EP to bypass SI detections, but i cant do it, delayed messagebox is always first (text in it is ofcourse encrypted)

after program start there is menu in which you can choose unlock method - you can plug hardlock, or softlock .lc file.

ill keep trying, more info later (i hope)

[dyn!o]

Sorry, of course I meant SoftLock (software protector) - not SafeLock (it's CD protection only).

Anyway, very interesting situation occured. SoftLock mixed with HardLock? I wonder who choosed so strange solution?

Greetings.

What target are you working on?

hobgoblin

Its SAPRO/32 - Saphire suite, which is running on LogiCad "platform" (produced by kirchner soft) If there is someone interested, just pm me.

Btw IceExt patched for ds 3.1 freeze my box in other cases too, so its issue of IceExt and not SoftLock protection.

I forgot to write, that main problem is that i cant find homepage of "my" softlock protection - its seems that Alladin (hardlock manufacturer) hasnt anything with it. And there is bunch of programs called softlock, but any of them seems to be that right.

Well maybe you aren't looking in the right place.

Using "softlock" (without the quotes) i got a link to this page:

http://www.kirchnersoft.com/ger/g-index.htm?/eng/news/e-SoftlockInfo.htm

which you identify as the maker of the LogiCad "platform" on which your target if running. This page, available in both German and English, has a potentially interesting title of:

Softlock Versus Hardlock
FAQ Special: Softlock License Service

which has some information on some aspects of the process of obtaining a license which should interest you.

You may be finding it difficult to find a home page for "Softlock" because the original company changed it name to Digital Goods around 2000 and then went out of business and sold off it intellectual property to pay off it's debts. See: http://www.infotoday.com/it/jan01/news11.htm

There is a company at: http://www.newlife.co.za/softlock.aspx
selling something called "New Life Softlock.net" which could, and I only say could, have something to do with what you are dealing with. They have a free download you could look at to compare with your target's protection.

Regards,

JMI yes, you are thinking exactly like me, all what you wrote, ive did yesterday
new softlock is completly different


ill probably give up searching of some resources on internet

I have to look better for some weakness
