Crack for AutoCAD 14 Release Alpha-1
------------------------------------
(S0xx installation, found on CB15)
First of all, I'd like to say it's pretty lame from the Crazy Bytes Crew to
put this version on their CB15 cdroms. It's a pre-release version, and they
didn't even give the serial number. I hope future Crazy Bytes will be better.
Ok, here's how to patch this thing.
First of all, use the serial number 999-12345678 to install.
After that, you'll get a nag screen from HeapAgent talking about files
needed for debugging (DBI.DLL or MSPDB40.DLL). If you have one of these
files, put it in your path. If you don't, just press OK.
What? 'End of AutoCAD evaluation period'???? 'Sorry, this pre-release
product has expired'???? This sucks! I didn't even try AutoCAD once!
Just run the file AUTO14-C.EXE in the directory where ACAD.EXE is (file
length is 10.123.776 bytes) and the date doesn't matter anymore...:-)
For the ones who want to crack it themselves using a hexeditor, here are
the byte changes:
search for: 0BC881F91F03CD077E1C6A0068D47AC900 (longer than necessary..:-)
and change this: ^^
into this: 7F
Search and change this sequence 3 times in the file ACAD.EXE.
It changes JLE (Jump Less Equal, 7E) into JG (Jump Greater, 7F) for those
who are interested.
I didn't look at the HeapAgent nag, so you'll have to press OK each time
you start AutoCAD. If someone feels like fixing that, be my guest.
Have fun!
