I didn't find a keygen for FrontDoor 2.26 shareware, so I wrote one. I've only tested it with the DOS version, but it should work with the OS/2 version also.

FD226-KG.ZIP is available in file area 4 (cracks) on Another Millennium BBS (another.tel).

For multiline use, I believe FrontDoor ML is required (a different version from the shareware version), which uses a different registration system involving key files - I haven't looked into this system yet. But I am curious if anyone is running FrontDoor and what version is in use. I see 2.33 ML available in the downloads area of defsol.com, I assume that's the latest and greatest so I may take a run at a keygen for that version also.

Enter the key in FDSETUP: File -> License information

For multiline use, I believe FrontDoor ML is required (a different version from the shareware version), which uses a different
registration system involving key files - I haven't
looked into this system yet. But I am curious if anyone
is running FrontDoor and what version is in use. I see
2.33 ML available in the downloads area of defsol.com, I
assume that's the latest and greatest so I may take a
run at a keygen for that version also.

It looks like I was (am?) confused! I downloaded and installed FrontDoor 2.33 mL and it appears to use the same license key format as FrontDoor 2.26 SW - I don't see any key file nonsense. AND - the keygen for FrontDoor 2.26 SW appears to be compatible with FrontDoor 2.33 mL.

If anybody is running FrontDoor 2.33 mL I would love some feedback on the keygen. (it works here, but hasn't been tested by anybody else yet.)

I appreciate the effort, appreciate that you're putting it out there, but nobody runs FD anymore. Your talents hopefully will move on to something else, may I suggest porting the Turbo Power B-tree ISAM library so it works properly on Freepascal so I can then try porting D'Bridge to Linux?

A friend came up with this phrase and as soon as I read it in the chat I knew it had to be my new motto. It's fun looking at this older software now, especially since the goal has become preservation and not just saving a $15 registration fee. :)

Thanks for the kind words! I've been really enjoying playing with Maximus, my list of things to try / stuff to do keeps growing, it's great! The hobby that keeps on giving...more bugs to fix. :)

I haven't contacted JoHo yet (I do plan to, but am hoping to confirm the keygen is perfect before I present it), I did read on defsol.com the offer to send him an email to receive a key but I think he hasn't been able to provide keys lately.

On his Facebook group, JoHo mentioned a couple months ago that he "still [hasn't] restored the license generator. If you can find a pirate key generator, feel free to use it." It sounds like the software was lost in a hard disk crash.

Someone on reddit asked me about FrontDoor 2.33 and they said they had emailed JoHo and not gotten a response. (I assume due to the lost software)

Howdy,

If anybody is running FrontDoor 2.33 mL I would love some feedback on the keygen. (it works here, but hasn't been tested by anybody else yet.)

I have FD here, that I've been playing around with, and I know Spec uses it to collect mail from me. I'm sure he'll be interested in this, as he didnt have a license for his FD. (I got mine a couple of years ago.)

There was somebody else playing with FD as well, cant recall who - but they may pop up.

Like your work...

(tangential story)

The Fido hub I picked up mail from in the 90s ran FrontDoor 2.02 NC, he used it for years, I remember the specific version because it was a free version that supported multinode operation and he didn't like the licensing of the newer versions.

That sysop (Warren Kreick, 1:140/62) and his BBS had quite a lasting impact on me. (not because of the FrontDoor licensing, that's just a random story that has stuck with me all these years)

Like your work...

Thanks, the feeling's mutual!

A couple of years ago he started to work on the code to bring it uptodate and a linux(?) verson.

It was then annoounced a few months latter that due to a HD crash, he was shelving the project.



(It amazes me that they don't have any backup's of the source code. The same thing went on with the EzyComm BBS software)

I haven't talked to him in a bit. So it's possible. I just didn't know if you knew and not to waste time, but doesn't appear as its wasted then. :)

I love the variety of door games and all the different concepts. I'd never be able to guess what's the next one to pop up. Evangelist Wars (version THREE!) was not on my bingo card, but now it is on my list. haha :)

I can't get TOO methodical or I'll risk turning this into a job! ;) It is really nice though to have somewhere to find a list of programs that need keys, where someone has already checked if there's a keygen/crack available - makes it easy to jump right into a project when the mood strikes.

Used to be a big game in my area in the 90s .... I honestly didn't know it needed reg'd until I looked at the docs and it says "run this program to make the reg.txt file to send with your $10 to register this." ..... so I guess it does. :)
