I think I may have the download stored somewhere, let me know you if you still need it. But dont know how you will authorize the software though. I like the program, very easy to use and has some good methods with it. I definitely learned some things from it. Let us know if you ever get in touch with them.

Would this happen to be the same person who ran out on all the FOCUS2000 horse and greyhound program users?

I doubt it. The mailing address is in Kansas, and the website has been listed in archive.org since 1999. They make golf software and supplies. The similar name appears to be a coincidence.

Since the adpa.com (Focus handicapping software) website is still suspended by the host, I'm assuming that, for whatever reason, that the software is now abandoned. That being the case, I would assume that it's fair for the current users to find a way to get their software to work. I doubt that the encryption method would be hard to defeat, for somebody knowledgeable in such things. I wouldn't imagine it would be difficult to find such a person; there are online groups (clans/klanz, so to speak) who do that sort of thing for free. I don't condone such activity for ongoing, supported software, but the Focus software isn't supported anymore, and those who have bought it have the right (in my opinion) to use it, meaning to bypass whatever security exists. Of course, the existence of a "keygen" or "crack" would effectively allow anybody who could get a copy of the software (purchased or not) to now use it free, but there's no real way to help the purchasers without making the software effectively freeware.

When a work carries the notice "copyright 1993-2009", that means that various parts of the work were copyrighted during that time frame. The copyright lasts from the copyright date to 70 years beyond the author's death.

So, in the example, 2009 is not the end date of the copyright. It is the begin date for a portion of the work.

Each disk only has 3 installs available on it. Also, the ACTIVATION file only works on the original computer that it was installed on. I too have the 10 TRACK version, which is still on my PC, but when I tried to copy it onto my laptop, it wouldn't let me. The ACTIVATION file was for my PC, not my laptop.

Just to make this simple -- the activation code is tied to the hard drive in some way (probably the serial #) that the program was originally installed on. The program will not work on any other hard drive. While I'm not 100% sure of this, I know that many copy protection schemes work off of identifying the IDs of a hardware component (or components) to generate some kind of unique code. That way you can only do one install, and would have to contact the software publisher for another license for a second install (on a second computer, for example, or if you get a new computer that will obviously have new hardware).

Can the protection be bypassed? Sure, by someone who knows what they're doing. No, that person is not me nor do I know anyone who can.
