Wow! What a huge changelog...

Some questions:
- is it wanted that the EasterEgg only get closed when PID4.0 is closed
- when i scan my cracked Chrome.exe it tells me it is protected with securom 4.8.. and not cracked
- when i scan the Lemmings Revolution cracked exe, you've maked for me, it tells me protected with CD Check and not cracked by you.

grammAr. And who are you going to thank for this correction ? :D

yes ;)

i dont scan for my tags anymore...

wich chrome.exe do u use ? i guess the one from Keops...
(i tested the flt nocd and it works fine)


:rolleyes:

now i got the easteregg, damn that took me a loooong time :D

First bugg report from me.

Age of Wonders - Shadow Magic is protected with new SecuROM 4.8->

And the protection id says it has already been cracked, on the original 1.1 file and the original 1.2 file :p

Edit:
And the same for Vietcong 1.4.

i know this problem, it´s caused only by a very few games...
most securom games will work, but i´m on the way to fix this problem with PiD v4.1 when i got some more time...

Hi All
 

I found this site because I was searching for the developer of Protection ID.

I downloaded it as freeware.

When I used an unRAR to open it the "cracktro.exe, notes.txt and install.reg file were extracted.
But when I try to access the Protection ID.exe I get prompt for a password.

I was under the assumption this was a freeware. Is there a cost to this program that would then give me a password?
Or am I missing something?

The program sounds great and I am impressed with the knowledge of the owner and the threads I have read on this post.

Hope to hear from someone.

a password? not that I know.

re-download it from my mirror (eagleeye). I _definatively_ have no password.
And please make sure you have the latest version of WinRAR!. Check www.rarlabs.com for that.

I am at a loss
 

to find your mirror site Eagle.


Is it the site in your profile?

I found it
 

Thanks again Eagle.

I must have been the unRAR I was using.
I did download WinRAR and it worked swwweeet.

Razor must had very fun to exploring you Protection ID...

i decided to put out v4.1 wich fixes some bugs...

@krondike

check again the Age of Wonders - Shadow Magic from your first bug report and also the other exe files.

btw, i had to shorten your post ;)

mirror updated (only for cdkiller)

i know, so i decided to check for securom but don´t display the version coz new securom has some internal changes.
but i´m watching for new securomed executables...

thx for reporting, it´s now fixed.

blablabla ;)
just the securom detection will maybe not work for newest prots.
sure i will fix it soon when i got some games to test.

it´s recommed to download this version, coz it´s the latest wich contains many bugfixes since v4.0
