Connecting to the local server is easy, its mimicking the wayfinder one that is hard.

The idea is that your new *fake* server would tell wayfinder to activate a trial no matter what.

My guess is the best way to go about this would be to use a program like wireshark and capture the network traffic while it is activating. then find a way to mimic it (harder than it sounds).

I was once curious and did this, but I have since lost the capture file. Since it looks like the current activation servers are down it looks like we cannot capture the activation. However I could be wrong. (If the activation ever starts working again let me know and ill try to capture it)

This is of course only one way to do this, there are others such as hacking the binary itself, which I know nothing about.
