    The hardware lock is a physical device that you attach to a port (usually) a parallel port. Your software detects this thingy and if it is there and is coded properly, you can use the software.

    Don't expect to find the answer here though. It's illegal and this isn't that kind of place...

    Thanks but it's not a warez though, the old owner who is our neighbor just crashed his computer coz of virus, and this is original CD, complete with everything.

    The hardware lock would have to be on his printer port if he ever used the program. One option would be to have the guy that sold it to you contact the company for a replacement hardware key. Might cost a few bucks, but it will be worth it.

    Sorry about that.

    Since the original disks have been passed on to you, so has the license.

    If it is complete with everything, it should contain the lock. If not, good luck. You may be able to request a new lock from the company if you have all the reg info though.

    That link you sent looks like it may help you get past it...

    thread closed as it borders on warez. if you didn't get the dongle off your cousin, he has ripped you off or may be using warez himself. You'll haver to contact the company or your cousin, there is no way round it here
