Armadillo time-based trials

Hello all,

I was following with interest this thread for I just stumbled on a target that is using Armadillo, probably the latest version .. initially I didn't even noticed that the target was packed .. only when I touched a dll this the message "This program has been damaged, possibly by a bad sector of the hard drive or a virus. Please reinstall it." pop up and searching I came up with a post on siliconrealms.com site (http://support.siliconrealms.com/index.php?showtopic=1233). Almost all file analyzer don't detect any packing ... only PE-SCAN succeded in finding Armadillo but only on a single dll ... I've used InCtrl5 on the app installation and again on the first run and have seen indeed a lot of keys and values written to the registry:

A lot of them I remember in older versions of the application, but a lot are also new ...

Also, no HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\The Silicon Realms Toolworks key was written to the registry .... unfortunately just today I installed Armadillo on the same computer and so I DO now have such a key ...

BTW is there a file analyzer around capable of detecting the latest versions of Armadillo (PEiD 0.8 and PE Tools 1.5 failed)????
