is it possible to crack HASP protected program without the dongle?

Can be not that easy if the envelope uses 3C/3D functions. If the dongle is HASP4 those functions are used for sure. These functions are used for code decription using the algorithm stored in the dongle, but usually they decrypt only a couple bytes and everythig else is a software algo. 3C is encryption, 3D - decryption function. You can built protection crypting throu the dongle.

The envelope usually contains a couple HASPSEED calls and a 3C/3D stuff. Also there can be some reads from the donlge memory. You can found the HASP API calls using bpx FreeEnvironmentStringsA in Sice. AX is function number as I remember.

Basicly, its a beta version of a program.
The final version has no locks whatsoever.
Its just that the beta had extra features
Plus, I have debugging information (*.pdb) that goes with this exe (no code though and dont ask how I got the exe or PDB)
