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.

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

Edit:
And the same for Vietcong 1.4.

[cdkiller]

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...

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.

[Eagle]

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.

[Zurke]

to find your mirror site Eagle.


Is it the site in your profile?

[Zurke]

Thanks again Eagle.

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

[krondike]

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

[cdkiller]

@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

[Eagle]

mirror updated (only for cdkiller)

[cdkiller]

However you find SecuROM but the version ID isn't displayed

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...

Age of Wonders - Shadow magic 1.2 , it's crashes.

thx for reporting, it´s now fixed.

ITS NOT RECOMENDED TO DOWNLOAD THE NEW VERSIOIN

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
