Shadow Defender Giveaway

[totoymola]

When I opened your 7z installer with winrar Avast eat the sd-giveaway.exe says its win 32 evo gen why ? just a false + ?

Hahahaha!!!! I love the choice of word, "eat". :lol:

Seriously, I don't know. But it is possible that you got the wrong file, as solidfiles sometimes gives you a fake file. Make sure to click the "Direct download link", and not the big green download button. I did not upload a 7z installer. I uploaded a RAR file.

The file I uploaded is named SD-giveaway-Setup.rar ---> MD5 SUM = 1AEE446169A7903711FF0895743C9E58

Inside that archive is SD-giveaway-Setup.exe ---> MD5 SUM = A92AAEE6D017E1D935D15520D6E6611B

Make sure you have the correct file and let us know.

Extracted setup file

Setup.exe hash --> MD5: 8493B781ACE9B39BF43B5575EA53B0E2 (is the same for trail and giveaway version)

Setup_x64.exe

Setup_x86.exe

You are looking at the wrong Setup.exe file buddy.

What you need to replace is the Setup.exe file inside the Setup_x64.exe or Setup_x86.exe :D

For those who find the instructions I posted confusing, I created the SFX installer (Using WinRAR) in accordance to the procedures I previously described.

Here it is. It works offline, no server check. I did not patch anything, I just followed the procedures I previously described. All the digital signatures of the files inside the SFX are intact, and feel free to perform a hashcheck to compare. :)

Maybe you have a older winrar version, 7zip (v9.20) can also not extract it. (RAR 5.0 format)

You are looking at the wrong Setup.exe file buddy. That file does nothing other than to test if you have a 32 or 64 bit system, and then launch the appropriate installer for your system. :D

What you need to replace is the Setup.exe file inside the Setup_x64.exe or Setup_x86.exe

Now works it. :D

What he said was good info and works it seems the trial version setup.exe inside that you overwrite give away setup.exe has different digital signatures . I tested it in vm with internet off with my clock set up a year and it installed fine . He just needs put in a installer that dont give any false positives.

I strongly recommend using Deep Freeze as more professional product. I already used Shadow Defender, 6 months ago and decided that it is unstable program. My devices was broken after Shadow Defender goes into undefined shadow mode, it was in shuffle - once in shadow, once in unshadow. The program locked some features and forbid new installations and I was received errors during installations in unshadow mode. Then Windows forced me for Check Disk and even repairing, my devices was leaved with some corrupted data. I had to transfer data to other proper devices to keep it alive. On other devices it was readable. And I had to format broken devices in low level to work properly. So, many headaches.

If you were using it 6 months ago you were using a more buggy version from 2013 there's no fix for the new version of Deep Freeze yet i heard.

Well, there is a simple workaround to that. ^_^ I will explain it later if anyone is interested.

I have the OK link, i don't know how to use it with a ''offline'' activate server.

(tried with MiniWebserver: http://www.aidex.de/software/webserver/MiniWebserver.zip )

http://www.shadowdefender.com/573859da6be34c9d8f86ff0c7507b20a.php

Hmmm... Interesting approach. B) That MiniWebserver tool might come in handy in the future. Thanks for the link. :)

First of all, I don't think the term "pre-activated" is the appropriate term. That is because this special build is more like a "retail" or "full" version. It does not need any serial number to work 100%. Just install it and it will work without any limitation.

However, the software company modified this giveaway installer to make it connect to their server in order to limit the installation after the promotion period.

But keep in mind that this giveaway installer does not connect to their servers to "activate" the program. As I mentioned above, this special build of the program does not need to be activated. The giveaway installer only connects to their servers to check the validity and expiration of the offer. If the offer is expired, then it won't allow you to install the program. Also, if you are not connected to the internet, it will also prevent you from installing the program.

So here is the million dollar question. How do we install this wonderful program after the expiration of the offer? Well, I can think of a few different ways to accomplish this task. Patching the installer, spoofing the server, etc, etc.. But this is what I did: (Note: I assume we are installing the 32-bit version, although the same procedures apply to the 64-bit version)

PART 1: Downloading the installer files.

1. Download WinRAR or 7Zip and install it.
2. Download the giveaway installer posted above (shadow-wd.zip) Extract the file "Setup.exe" inside the ZIP file, save it to your Desktop, and rename it to "SD-giveaway-Setup.exe"
3. Download the original trial version installer of Shadow Defender from http://www.shadowdefender.com/download/SD1.4.0.519_Setup.exe, save it to your Desktop, and rename it to "SD-trial-Setup.exe"

Note: Renaming the installer files and saving them to your Desktop is not absolutely necessary. I just did it to avoid confusion.

PART 2: Extracting the files from the giveaway installer.

1. Using WinRAR or 7Zip, extract the contents of the self-extracting archive "SD-giveaway-Setup.exe" to a folder on your Desktop. Rename that folder to "SD-giveaway-Setup"
2. Copy the file "Setup_x86.exe" inside the "SD-giveaway-Setup" folder, paste it to your Desktop, and rename it to "Setup_x86-giveaway.exe"
3. Using WinRAR or 7Zip, extract the contents of the self-extracting archive "Setup_x86-giveaway.exe" to a folder on your Desktop. Rename the folder to "Setup_x86-giveaway"

PART 3: Extracting the files from the trial installer. (Pretty much the same as PART 2)

1. Using WinRAR or 7Zip, extract the contents of the self-extracting archive "SD-trial-Setup.exe" to a folder on your Desktop. Rename that folder to "SD-trial-Setup"
2. Copy the file "Setup_x86.exe" inside the "SD-giveaway-Setup" folder, paste it to your Desktop, and rename it to "Setup_x86-trial.exe"
3. Using WinRAR or 7Zip, extract the contents of the self-extracting archive "Setup_x86-trial.exe" to a folder on your Desktop. Rename that folder to "Setup_x86-trial"

PART 4: Replacing the "Setup.exe"

1. Navigate to the folder "Setup_x86-trial" on your Desktop. Copy the file "Setup.exe"
2. Navigate to the folder "Setup_x86-giveaway" on your Desktop. Paste the "Setup.exe" file that you copied from the "Setup_x86-trial" folder. Overwrite the existing file.

PART 5: Installing the program.

1. Navigate to the folder "Setup_x86-giveaway" on your Desktop and run the file "Setup.exe" That's all.

SUMMARY

The file "Setup.exe" in the giveaway installer is what connects to their servers to check the validity and expiration of the offer. The "Setup.exe" in the trial installer does not do that, and it allows you to install the program offline. All we did was replace the "Setup.exe" of the giveaway installer with the "Setup.exe" from the trial installer. This eliminates the server check and allows us to install the program offline. Thereby allowing us to install the program even after the expiration of the offer.

Confused?? Don't worry, I am too. :P

Thank you @Totoymola...I have followed your instructions and have everything ready to install. I'm a bit nervous about other people's problems with Shadow Defender (computer going into a kind of "shuffle" mode and problems with some programs not functioning) but I'm going to keep the final setup folder until I feel confident enough to install it. Meanwhile thanks for the walk-through, even a noob like me could understand it. :showoff: :showoff: :showoff:
