Anyone know how to remove the license check from this torrent, its 3d fahrschule version 5.0 Europe edition: https://bt4gprx.com/magnet/PfLT5wh5RwJg1vLjIVVA4mGbbpPAQRiDBBecause the license keeps expiring after a few runs, I've opened the academy.exe file in ghidra and x32 dbg but cannot find the license check.Would appreciate some hints or the exact method that runs this check and patch the .exe by removing that part (basically cracking the protection).
>>1545281>Would appreciate some hintsIn ghirda search for the string (text) that pops up saying that the license is expired.Right click the result that and search all references/usages of that string. You should get a result.This jumps you somewhere close to the function that does the check (as you will be on the failed path of an license check, it'll be obvious what the function doing the license check is).
>>1545385Also looking around, it just might be a simple registry check, as that's what an older version of the game does. (https://archive.org/details/3-d-driving-school-simulation-pc-game). There might be a similar reg key for version 5 which you could just delete.

>>1545281>>1545421ok got the torrent, i dont know if i will have the time to crack it but if the thread dies before i crack it you can try searching the internet archive for "3D Fahrschule 5" where i'll upload this and the crack in case i do crack it in the coming days or at some point in the future, but dont expect anything, try out the fix outlined at >>1545426ill also seed the torrent permanently
>>1545426The names of those registry keys contain misspellings, its "Besier 3D-Edutainment" and there is no prof-V1.crc file in the installation folder. Moreover, its not just a simple registry check from what I see, even if you do a backup of the registry that the game uses at install time and later try to restore those when you receive the license error it still won't trick it. A fresh reinstall resets the license but you still have a short amount of starts you can use, probably because it has a countdown counter somewhere in its game files?>>1545385The strings for license checking are obfuscated so a simple string search for something like "License error" won't show any matches in debugger.
