Hi,

I have some software called chief architect 9.0 which is housing design software. It uses a parallel port hardware lock to run and i have recently upgraded to a new laptop which does not have a parallel port. Is there any way i can hack or emulate the hardware lock to get the program to run on my new laptop? I have tried a parallel port to USB converter but the software doesn't recognize the device through this. The lock is made by HASP.

Any help on this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

You can make dump of your dongle using h5dmp tool.

The passwords of your dongle is: 0x6555 0x5DEB

Thankyou for the advice.
I have done a small amount of research and an having trouble completely understanding the process.

Is there any more advice you can provide me with in trying to get this working? or lead me towards a website that you believe will be able to help me further.
I have very little experience with this type of program.

1. Run the tool with parameters:
h5dmp 0x6555 0x5DEB
or
h5dmp 0x5DEB 0x6555

2. convert the created dump files to public solution format
for example, multikey

I am having a little trouble installing multikey on my 64 bit win7. Can you aid me on this matter? I have done a fair amount of internet searching but am finding it hard to find an active link to download the files i require.
You seem to be quite clued up about this, do you have a link to a website that can help provide me with the files i require?

For install the multikey driverunder Windows 64-bit you need disable drivers sign checking by DSEO tool.

Hi i am trying to attack this problem again and am having trouble with the h5dump

I am using the password that you supplied and everything seems to work fine but the only output i am getting is a 1kb file named hasp.dmp. Now through my reading i think i should be getting this file and one other file hhl_mem.dmp and am guessing they will both be larger than 1 kb?

Can you please help me with this?

Cheers
Chris

There is possible two reasons:
1. your dongle model is HASP4
2. you need run h5dmp tool under administrative privileges

[cmdemp]

Ok i know my dongle is definately a HASP4, How does this affect my process about emulating the dongle?

I will try the admin privileges aswell just to be sure.

hasp.dmp file is enough for HASP4.
