SO..... rather than trying to hack into the program or paying the extortion fee.....

Why not jump ship on it and move to Sonar/Cakewalk and get Music Creator 7 for $20?

That's right... grab MC7 right now for $20. And when you register it, the key is safely stored in YOUR Cakewalk account where you can access it anytime you need....OR, simply write it down and use it any time you need to move MC7 to a new machine.

I even lost the files of one of my MC versions and a simple email to Cake's tech support was followed by a return email with a download code for the software and the key.

That's one reason I'm a Sonar user. Lots of my older songs were all recorded in MC4. It's a very capable DAW.

I have run into the exact same issue. I had a D-Man PCI sound card on my first DAW. It was a W-95 machine. I needed to upgrade the OS for business and the D-Man drivers would not function with the new OS. I contacted the D-Man company for a new driver and was told essentially the same thing. I needed to upgrade the hardware because they were not planning to write driver code for the old card. $250 PCI card instantly became a paperweight,,,, and a poor one at that. That was the time I got out of music recording for a few years because my $500 investment in software and hardware was totally useless.
