Hey gang... I have posted this once before but I am going to post it again in hopes someone out there could possibly help me. This software which can be downloaded at https://www.macintoshrepository.org/42882-ipt was given for use to those who purchased the Apple Network Server 500 or 700. Apple did not have a solution of their own to do file sharing through AppleTalk. So this company IPT which is completely defunct and abandoned usually issued registration keys. Of course none of the phone numbers, web sites, anything to do with IPT exists anymore. And of course who would bother with this old software since I'm sure there probably isn't one person on this earth using it. So Apple distributed this with the server as a "try it and buy it" option from IPT (Information Presentation Technologies Inc.)
I am trying to find someone who might be able to break the code they used or to create a key utility that would generate codes based off the "Machine ID". Apparently it uses the "Machine ID" of the server for the coding of the key. I am sure there is a master or back door code that doesn't really require a "Machine ID" as programmers sometimes include this for their own benefit.. but I'm not 100% sure.
So what I am attaching is pics of the once valid license for my server with my "Machine ID" which is: 0026157F4c00 and if you look at the first photo that license which has expired worked for my machine ID. The second picture is a generic try it code that allows only 1 user to use AppleTalk file sharing services. I am hoping and praying someone might be able to figure this out for me and for the community for anyone else who has an ANS and wants to use it. I know there are a few people on the board that have ANS's that would probably like to be able to use this software.
I am hoping with my machine id of: 0026157F4c00 and these photos of the formatting they use to generate key codes someone might be able to figure out the algorithm to this madness.
Again the CD Image can be downloaded at: https://www.macintoshrepository.org/42882-ipt where I uploaded it a while back. There are some AIX/UNIX files on it and some regular mac docs I think on it as well. But this is the installer CD for AIX and the software.
Much appreciated in advance to anyone who can help.
