registered software - automatically register after ROM upgrade?

[diomark]

Hi,

I'm running all registered (NON-CRACKED) software on my ppc, which is why I need to do this. I frequently upgrade my roms, and my biggest pain point is entering the registration number for the ~15-20 apps on my ppc.

I'm copying settings/etc over, most often by exporting the registry keys for that software/reimporting it into the new rom - but the registration key typically doesn't get copied over.

Is there a different place in the registry that I should be looking at for that?

Thanks,

use your registry editor to search for the registration codes and then export those settings. you can then cab it or package into an oem to cook into your roms.

or export in a reg/xml file and put in your Autorun on SD Card (read more (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396943&highlight=autorun)).

Unfortunately there is no real solution to this.
To avoid cracking registration codes are usually well hidden some times in the registry and some times in files.

The place and method of hiding the keys is different for each program.

Finding out were and how the key is stored requires a degree of reverse engineering on the protection mechanism and is basically the beginning of creating a crack for the program.

Normally producing a full backup of the device would preserve registration but it is impossible to restore full backup over different ROMs.

It's weird that different 'export settings' from different programs but from the same author don't automatically capture the registration code. i.e. I use sbsh pocketbreeze and phoneweaver (great programs, btw..) - pocketbreeze automatically restores the registration code when I export the settings/import it later. phoneweaver doesn't...

Definately a pain - even w/ mymobilier (which I use to type the serial numbers from my laptop into the phone..)
