Enable It, enables or disables windows or objects in windows-applications, i.e. Buttons, tick boxes text boxes, … I used it to crack / unlock options in some Evaluation software I was testing, and also find some interesting weaknesses in a lot of registration or password protected installations, it works most of the time depending on the object type and underlying code, although this is not a crack, it demonstrates the EnableWindow API call, and teaches us to be careful when creating our installations.
Side Effects
Be careful not to disable VB, windows desktop or anything to do with the application its self.
