That old subject.
Well I have made a fairly bullet-proof registration system for my software.
Unfortunately, it seems that since the use of that, and no cracks being
available, is a sudden influx of users who have had to 'reformat their hard
drive' and want new keys. This is doing about 10% of my clients, which is
ridiculous.
What I would like to do is supply the user a wee utility which finds when
their hard disk was formatted, but I dont think this info is available, or
is it? I have looked at Getvolumeinfo().
Maybe another way is to look at a file typically created when Windows is
initialised in the route directory, and extract its create date, and return
it as a integer since 1900 (most users wouldnt know what that was). There
are 2 likely candidates I can see:
1stscan.txt & Resetlog.txt
Anybody know what those 2 above are used for?
Tks,
Alistair+
