The way the file is generated has been shown. I'd call that a crack. You could
even call it a hack. ;) The workaround is to get the appropriate, matching file
from an already registered installation. There's no crack for it in the sense
that you can download an .exe or keygen to generate the registration file
(yet), but it was still cracked. :)

(2) To copy commercial software illegally by breaking (cracking) the various
copy-
