Activate Zeta

From Haiku Max Wiki

This is a work around for the activation of Zeta-1.0 who those who own a copy of it, and are unable to activate Zeta-1.0 since Yellowtab is no longer in business, and they are not maintaining an activation server anymore causing one to get an activation reminder every ten minutes.


[edit]

How to stop the activation reminder

  1. right click and new StyledEdit document
  2. from inside StyledEdit add this line: int main(){}
  3. save as fake.c in /boot/home
  4. enter terminal and cd /boot/home/
  5. enter command: gcc fake.c -o fake
  6. enter command: cp fake /boot/beos/bin/activate
This workaround will only work for Zeta-1.0. If one tries to upgrade with the free Zeta-1.1 upgrade, this workaround will stop working as YellowTab changed the activation in Zeta-1.1 .
