The attached BSNG Plugin generates activation keys for ClearPhone version 4, Engineering Consulting, the makers of Clearphone, has implemented a remote registration routine which checks the entered key againist an online key database every time you run the program, if it turns that your code is missing from their list of legit codes, ClearPhone will be immediately terminated and your nickname, IP address and email address (retrieved from Internet Config preferences) will be sent to ClearPhone server right away. As soon as you get caught, Engineering Consulting will proceed through its standard warning processes ranging from email threats (if the email address you provided in your IC preferences was valid) to harassment to your ISP. You’ve got various chances to deny Clearphone server to receive these information regarding your identity, in my opinion, the most valid is using any firewall software (such as the great Vicom products) and setup an outgoing ban for the address “clearphone.com” on port 80 (yes, the web port), as an alternative, you can just use ClearPhone over an AppleTalk network. In this case you only need to ensure that the first time you launch ClearPhone you issue the “disable internet receiver auto initialization of” commmand, ClearPhone will then work on your AppleTalk network without accessing any TCP stream. However, the easiest and safest way to prevent being busted by Engineering Consulting comprises of few simple prescriptions: use ClearPhone on a AppleTalk network only and keep your TCP connection unaccessible while the program is running. I hope I addressed all the possible questions on the use of this plugin, I take no responsibility for any damage my plugin may cause to you, if you use the generated activation codes, you do it at your own risk.
This is the letter Engineering Consulting sends to those are caught using pirated ClearPhone serial numbers, if they can access your email account:
