Encrypted ARX Routine

[wojoacad]

I have a licensed copy of CadEasy EasySite software that I purchased many years ago from the author James White (really neat guy).  Whenever I purchased a new computer and wanted to transfer EasySite over, I'd email James and he would send me a new authorization code.  James passed away a while back and his website has disappeared (I guess his kids had better things to do than deal with old dinosaur architects like me). The last computer I authorized EasySite on has also passed away (Windows 7 corruption, I think).  I tried installing the routine on my new computer using all of the authorization codes I got from James... No luck.

I'm trying to repair Windows 7 on that old computer without wiping the hard drive... hoping the routine will work when I open Acad2004.  Assuming I won't be able to do that, is it possible to bypass an authorization dialog box in an encrypted ARX routine?  (I realize that I'm asking a question about "cracking" a program.  In this case I really wouldn't feel guilty about getting my old registered software running again.)

Thanks.

I would if I could...  The EasySite routine was written and sold by a small Oregon company called CadEasy.  The author has passed away and the company no longer exists.  I'm asking a general programming question regarding the POSSIBILITY of someone being able to get the licensed ARX file working again.
