This replaces call ... test eax, eax jz with mov al,1 and NOP sled.
Original:
Better: redirect the function to a code cave containing: patch lumion 11
Pattern: 48 8B 4C 24 08 48 85 C9 74 ?? E8 ?? ?? ?? ?? 85 C0 This pattern leads to a function named IsLicenseValid() in pseudocode. The simplest patch (used in many public “cracks”) is to force the license validation function to always return true (1) and skip network activation. This replaces call
call ValidateLicense test al, al jz 0x... ; jump if invalid Patch jz to jmp always (EB opcode in x86) or NOP out the test and force the branch. Lumion 11 also tries to validate the license online at launch and every 24 hours. The patch must also disable this. The patch must also disable this.
