Title: Atmosphere - how to clean old installation / hidden files / reset challenge code
Post by: surens on March 25, 2025, 09:28:11 AM
Hi,

TL;DR

Does anyone know what hidden files Atmosphere installs onto the disk drive? I've tried deleting files and reinstalling a few times but the same (expired) challenge code returns :(

-

I cloned a OS 9 PowerMac G4 disk image with working Spectrasonics Atmosphere 1.01 VST onto a SSD running OS 9 on a PowerBook G3 and after installation and running Live 4.14, I'm prompted with a challenge / response check.

When I generate a response code with the Keygen on Windows, the VST says it has expired.

Appreciate any help

Sounds like a "drop dead date". Try setting the date back 5 or 10 years on the Win machine… and if necessary, maybe the G3 too long enough to get it working.

Thank you, I didn't think of setting the date on the Windows machine running the Keygen, will try that!

Annoyingly I think my Mac is already on oldest date possible (1970?) as it cannot keep time/date info due to me not having a PRAM battery..

Btw this is now solved. I used the TaLIO keygen and it's all good
