Cool Beans (License Challenge)

Cool Beans (License Challenge)

Good evening everyone,

I’ve put together my first CrackMe using DNGuard 4.94 and its License Management feature.

The application is called “Cool Beans.exe” - terrible name, I know 😄
Once cracked successfully, you’ll be taken to the main form, which displays a (slightly stupid) message.

Hope you enjoy taking a look.
Cheers 🍻
