DISCLAIMER: THE FOLLOWING IS PROVIDED FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. DO NOT DO THIS. IT IS ILLEGAL IN THE UNITED STATES. IT
VIOLATES THE MICROSOFT LICENSE AGREEMENT THAT YOU AGREE TO WHEN YOU INSTALL WINDOWS98. THIS INFORMATION WAS SENT TO ME ANONYMOUSLY.
I DO NOT KNOW IF IT ACTUALLY DOES WHAT IT PURPORTS TO DO. I DO NOT WANT TO FIND OUT. DO NOT DO IT.

"To bypass the product key on Windows 98, do the following:

copy the entire Win98 directory from the CD to a directory on the hard drive

extract precopy1.cab pidgen.dll <enter>
debug pidgen.dll <enter>
-e 1ed7 <enter>
xxxx:1ED7 39. 8b <enter>
-e 1edf <enter>
xxxx:1EDF 39. 8b <enter>
-w <enter>
-q <enter>

For those with a hex editor, patch offset 1dd7h and 1ddfh from bytecode 39h to bytecode 8bh. Debug works fine (file is <64k so no
segment adjustments are necessary) for patching small files like this one.

run SETUP and type in ANYTHING for the serial number. The only exception is all zeros; that's apparently a backdoor that was
shutdown before pidgen.dll was released.

Win98 will use the modified pidgen.dll file instead of the unmodified one stored inside of precopy1.cab archive.

"I read and tested your procedure for installing WIN 98 without a product key ( "debug pidgen.dll ..." ) and can tell you that it
works even after you have installed WIN 98 from the CD. When you get to the screen that asks you for the key, click on "Cancel",
this will shut down Windows. Reboot in DOS mode ( I used the startup disk created earlier ) Go into the \WINDOWS directory and do
the Debug routine to edit pidgen.dll . When done, reboot the machine. You will be brought back to the screen that asks for your name
and company name. Enter the data. Next is the license agreement screen; after you accept, you will be back at the product key
screen. This time, it will accept any key as mentioned in you FAQ, and the installation will complete."
