Does it matter if Ambrosia is watching? I suppose they could rat out
the origional person on the registration name...That seems unlikely
though..
dont forget me, I need one too
It's not. Furthermore they watch registration patterns. If the same number is
registered by different people in a short span of time, it gets flagged and
deactivated. The products registered before a serial's deactivation still work
because it only checks the serial with the server once. Registrations occuring
afterwards would fail.
can you send one to me too (kirb...@hotmail.com)
and how do they watch registration patterns?
also...if its not posted in the newsgroup and just sent in e-mails...how do
they track it then?
thx
>can you send one to me too (kirb...@hotmail.com)
I'm not in the business of handing out serials. If you want serials, go to a
newsgroup like alt.binaries.mac.serial.numbers

The only thing that could make me laugh more than seeing a real,
honest-to-God "me too" post in the year 2002 would be if the president of
Ambrosia posted a followup to it while giggling deviously.

President of Ambrosia: Here's your new serial!
User: Wrot13Happy
Serial: RKRPFPEVCG - ez -es
Me neither. I could use that s/n too. alexan...@mac.com
hahahaha thats funny
I could use one as well
I rather doubt that. For one thing, the registration process cannot
actually require an active internet connection, for obvious reasons.
Hence, there will be no "checking the server" at the initial
registration. Any pirate worth his salt will stow the prefs away
safely - even if he needs to wipe his drive clean, he won't need to
use Ambrosia's updating service later to get a new SN. He will,
therefore, not risk having the server identify his number as a pirated
one.
I wonder, have you merely misunderstood Matt's post, or are you
intentionally misinforming people on Ambrosia's behalf as to what the
reg app can or cannot do?
Me too please! My friend and I want to play this with the cool ships
and plugins activated.
Thanks!!
I need it too, I got trapped in the Vell-os thread and I want to continue.
Thanks soooo much if u e-mail it to me at,

I'm sorry that you feel my information is misleading or erroneous. I acquired
the information from the Ambrosia Times' Bitwise Operator column which says
that new system does require some form of contact with Ambrosia. The serials
time out after a 30 days and the means to get a working serial after that
window is ambrosia themselves.
Nope. Not unless you have lost the preferences file and the app AFTER
you've registered it.
>The serials

Take a look, if you will, at the following passages from the long,
dreary, 'all-we-want-is-pizza-and-beer' tirade by Matt Slot, aka the
Bitwise Operator:
"it forces the user to activate the product within 30 days, or the
code expires and won't activate anything, Now, and this is important,
the timestamp has absolutely no effect on the operation of the
software after the code has been entered. Once personalized for the
user's computer, it remains fully functional forever (unless someone
wipes the system clean)."
The need to contact Ambrosia arose only when,
"...Apple had upgraded the operating system and most people were
paranoid enough to perform a clean install. This meant that the data
file containing the software registration was lost as well, and most
of them needed to reenter their license codes."
Now... what pirate would be stupid enough, knowing about this
expiration scheme, not to back up anything to do with EV Nova,
including the aforementioned data file, before they wipe the system?
"You see, in order to renew their stolen codes they must contact a
computer in our office. " says Matt. /Only/ if they're foolish enough
to have lost the registered app and preferences file in the first
place.
I restate, the user does NOT have to contact Ambrosia the first time
they register.
Which is a good thing - it is likely that Surfer's Serials will keep
up with the codes for a few months, once the system is cracked -
that's why it's a monthly publication. :) Also, it would be most
amusing if the new registration scheme were vulnerable to something as
simple as resetting the date on your machine - and at present, I don't
see why it wouldn't be.

I see where the confusion comes from. I am talking merely in terms of warez,
which means people sharing their serials. After 30 days, the serials stop
working and any pirate who uses them would have to contact ambrosia. At first
the number may work but it would probably be blacklisted in short order. I was
not speaking in terms of the original person who registered.

So am I.

Only if the pirate were silly enough to trash his prefs.
Sorry to waste bandwidth with this back-and-forth banter, but
serialbuggers ought to know their options.
Which, right now, I envision as the following:
1) Someone cracks the scheme, submits a buncha serials to Surfers'
Serials.
2) Pirates register within a month and make sure to keep their prefs.
The app works forever.
3) After a month, serials expire. Serials in last month's SS don't
work anymore. The new edition of Surfer's Serials has new numbers.
Rinse and repeat until interest in Nova wanes.
or, someone writes a patch circumventing the whole time-based scheme,
and the whole mess ends there.
This reminds me so much of the old Realmz/Fantasoft, when Tim Phillips
would check C&N and keep a blacklist deep in the datafiles. :) He,
too, seemed obsessed with fancy anti-piracy devices.

That assumes the pirate registered within the 30 days, which is probably not
the case. Pirates who register after the window will not be able to register
without, as you say, solutions like cracks.

I suppose so although ambrosia could release a new .1 revision that breaks the
serial number algorythm which has been developed and the patch all while
allowing correct serials to work.

Well, we'll see how it plays out.
