Just copy the crack to the same directory as proboard.exe and run it once... It will permanantely patch proboard.exe to think it has a valid key. In the event this fucks up or does not invoke all of the registered functions, PROCRACK.COM will make a backup copy of proboard.exe and rename it to $roboard.exe before it applies the patch. As far as I know, this should activate all the registered functions, however, the name of the BBS and Sysop will not be displayed, as they are contained in the key file.
