Disassemble IsActivated :

10001A30 push ebp 10001A31 mov ebp, esp 10001A33 call dword ptr [NitroActivation.dll+0x2F4C] ; internal check 10001A39 test eax, eax 10001A3B jnz activated 10001A3D xor eax, eax 10001A3F pop ebp 10001A40 ret activated: 10001A41 mov eax, 1 10001A46 pop ebp 10001A47 ret At 10001A33 replace call with mov eax, 1; ret (bytes: B8 01 00 00 00 C3 ).

In NitroPDF.exe , locate InternetOpenA and replace with RET (or inline mov eax, 1; ret if function is small).

Find CheckSignature function – it returns 0 on fail, 1 on success. Patch test eax, eax → xor eax, eax; inc eax; ret . Patch test eax, eax → xor eax, eax; inc eax; ret
