I think the Hexalock website also says (in the FAQ) that they use some method to detect CD emulation. I own a legitimate copy of the software I'm trying to copy -- I just want to use it as an image on the HD rather than dragging around & scratching up the original CD. But if there's emulation detection and blocking, even if the image is copied correctly, it won't work with DTools.

Now what :-)

OH MY GOD - are you serious? Or are you employee of "Hexalock"?

What do you think we guys do the whole day? Play with our balls?
Of course it would work - IF we would support it

[Jito463]

Yeah, but they say the same thing about SecuROM, Safedisc and Starforce.

:-( Didn't work for me, need DT Hexalock solution...

well, if i remember right, it runs, does the cdcheck, extracts the 'real' exe to the temp folder, and executes that, so u could try running it, alt-tabbing and checking your temp folders...

I tried your suggestion, but it didn't work for me. If you read through the descriptions of this method at www.hexalock.com, I think it sounds a little different than what you described. Anyway, I think you can download trial material from the website, and order a sample protected CD to "play" with.

DT wizards, can we see this in the next version

any luck with the above suggestion. This tool would be of great assistance. I own the Original so the ability to run it from the Lap top and now have to take a case of cd's into the field where they get ruined would be of great help

think hexalocks check was for bad sectors on the cd/dvd, then it extracted the exe from certain sectors, xor'd it against a magic key (simple), then shelled that exe...

Any update on this ?

I can send you a disk.

I have the same manual and I don't have a laptop to carry down to my shop so I would love to be able to print off a sheet of data ( That I can throw away when it gets dirty ) instead of having to carry my clean manual everywhere and try to keep it clean. I wonder is this possible, all the older manuals could be printed ???? Lots of people have there fingers crossed on this subject. Good Luck

ok

I can send you a disk.

all quiet on the western front is it ???

then might i suggest to all the users of original discs that seek help to perhaps sacrifice one such disk or at lest lend one to the dt team. the guy with the manuals for example, sounds like the company could afford to "loose" one such disc, eh ? either way if you really want true support then send such a disc to the dev team for evaluation. i'm sure they can figure out what's what.

for all we know it may already be doable. what have you guys tried so far ? (alcohol, blindwrite ? what profiles ? etc...)

[mistaken]

I know myself and my company would be very appreciative if you were able to emulate the hexalock protection features, so that we would not have to carry the original cd's out into the field.

We do own the software, and at a cost of more than 900 dollars, and a replacement disk cost of 100 dollars, it would be much easier as the IT guy, to know that my budget was not going to have to take that hit so often.

Thank you for any help

we will check if it is necessary to implement hexalock-emu.
If we see need here, we will implement it in one of our next
versions.

[Jito463]

only available from the manufacturer and at a pricey sum.

I borrowed an original, hoping to be able to copy/create image of it

You do understand the concept of "we do not support warez", right? No matter what the intention or reason, warez talk is not allowed here.
