Research is expensive
We provide the information for bypassing the key for free. Research is expensive though, basically the time spent researching is overtime hours I do not get to work for pay. So if you like the work and want to say 'thanks' feel free to make a small donation (or a large) to help cover the time I spent. It may help encourage me to make hacks to other versions of the software, though no promises :)The serial number for your program should be located on the back cover of the CD case.

Megatouch© Force 2011 'Key of Death' Bypass and Reverse Engineering Information
The Megatouch© series of games use a special security key. In most recent versions a Maxim/Dallas DS1996L-F5 series key. This key provides- A key serial number
- Encrypted game configuration data
US Law provides an exception to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act issued in 2010, which among other things allows for reverse engineering and modification of
'Computer programs protected by dongles that prevent access due to malfunction or damage and which are obsolete. A dongle shall be considered obsolete if it is no longer manufactured or if a replacement or repair is no longer reasonably available in the commercial marketplace.'
We have contacted AMI and requested replacement parts to fix the Force 2011 IO board/security dongle and have been told that those systems and parts are no longer supported (see correspondence below), Thereforeunder this exception we have reverse engineered various Megatouch Force and Ion© systems software and have documented and created patches for these systems that allow a owner of real Megatouch© hardware to bypass the need for the security key. Since the ION 2014 keys are still available we will NOT provide bypass information on those systems.

My key is already dead, what can I do?
If you have a valid Megatouch Force 2011 Key that has already experienced battery death, you can still revive your machine. Due to popular demand we now offer a service for $125 were we will install the software on an SSD hard drive, extract the encrypted key data on the hard drive, and patch the software to read it off the hard drive rather than the key. You WILL still need a key with the correct serial number inserted into the system, however the serial number will persist even after battery death. Contact us for more information. We will also perform this service if you have a valid Force 2011 key that has not YET expired. You do need to send us the key for us to verify and perform the modification and test it before shipping back to you.
