Late 90's software question

**s1mp13m4n** · 03-28-2010, 06:48 PM

I have a legal copy of a Bible software program that I bought in 1998. It came with a floppy disk which "unlocked" the version of it that you purchased. I paid $150 for it back then. I no longer have the floppy disk but still have the install cd. I legally own it, so how do I "crack" it and unlock the thing? I know this is a vague question. The regitration and program files on the disk have a .dat extension. I am not sure what programing language it was written in either and notepad only show unreadable text. Thanks for the help. The program is Bible Explorer 2.0 by Epiphany Software....which I think do not exist any more.

looks to me like it's freeware now

I looked at that but the free version gives you "lame" free books, what I mean is all the "good" translations such as NIV, The Message, etc are in the paid version. :) I will look in to it though. :)

It appears that Epiphany Software's Bible Explorer merged with WordSearch starting at version 3.0

It says on their page to call them to purchase or unlock anything from one of their CDs. You could contact them to see if they provide support for your version. http://www.wordsearchbible.com/about/contact.php

I called them and they found my account info from back then and they sent me an email...not to unlock the older 2.0 version that I have but to add the books that I had in to the newer version 4.0. Thanks for the help with this. :)
