Internet download manager is one of the most popular and the best download manager

tool. Most of we prefer IDM for our downloading purpose because of it�s awesome
features. But this usefull application is not free, we have to pay and buy this
application. It comes with 1 month trial period and after the validity ends you
have to buy this application. Most of we use patches and cracked version of IDM,
but we don�t think that most of the patchers or cracked softwares may contain
virus. So here I will describe you how to crack IDM manually so that you will be
safe from possible virus attack and also you will get lifetime validity on your
IDM. When we update IDM it shows that IDM is registered with fake serial number but
IDM exists, then it will stop downloading. By using this trick your IDM is
registered for life time and you will not get any error while updating next time.

Here the trick goes:

1)If you have earlier version of IDM then update by going on Help>update, if you
have latest version of IDM then go to registration, if you donot have IDM then
download the latest version.

2)After you click on registration a new dialog will appear, fill up your Name and
email address and in the serial key write any of the following keys:

RLDGN-OV9WU-5W589-6VZH1

HUDWE-UO689-6D27B-YM28M

UK3DV-E0MNW-MLQYX-GENA1

398ND-QNAGY-CMMZU-ZPI39

GZLJY-X50S3-0S20D-NFRF9

W3J5U-8U66N-D0B9M-54SLM

EC0Q6-QN7UH-5S3JB-YZMEK

UVQW0-X54FE-QW35Q-SNZF5

FJJTJ-J0FLF-QCVBK-A287M

Now after adding serial number click on ok to register.

4) It will shows an error like this �registered IDM using fake serial key� and IDM
will exits.

Now your cracking steps starts now:

5)Click on start and go to run, you can also do this by �windows R�. Run will
appear and enter this text

notepad %windir%system32driversetchosts

But if you are using windows 7 then it will not work you have to do like this

First of all go to C:/ drive then go to Windows Folder and then go to System32
folder and then go to Drivers folder and then go to Etc Folder, in the Etc folder
you will see the hosts file.
Now right click on hosts file and go to its properties, then go to security tab and
then select your admin account, just below u will see an edit button (in front of
change permissions), Now give the user full control and write and read rights and
then click on apply and then click on Ok, now u will be able to edit the hosts file
and save changes in it.

6) After this all is done a notepad appears and you have to copy this and paste in
your notepad.

After you add this in your notepad close it and save.

After you save that file in notepad in host, open IDM it again shows fake serial
no. now register it again with the serial no. i had list above.
