Hi all,

I have some news that I think that some in this community will appreciate: I have cracked Lyrihorn 2. I reverse engineered the serial key algorithm and can now generate CD keys. If you run my tool on the machine you intend to use Lyrihorn 2 on, you just need to provide it values for the name and email fields. The tool is open source and available here: https://codeberg.org/aural_queen/lyrihorn2KeyGen. Note that it will only work on Windows at the moment. I do not have executable builds of the tool up at the moment, but it can be built with the community version of Visual Studio 2022 very easily. I do not have access to Lyrihorn 1 at the moment, but if someone who purchased it is willing to provide their installer, please DM me.

Edit: If you are getting the wrong serial key, add the machine ID from the activation window as the 3rd command line argument. There is apparently a bug where the machine ID isn’t always obtained properly. I have also pushed a bug fix that you will want to download if you need to provide the 3rd argument. This software was hacked together fairly quickly so there are definitely bugs present.

Edit 2: The binary release is up, and can be found here: https://codeberg.org/aural_queen/lyrihorn2KeyGen/releases. Also, to increase compatibility with Macs, I have removed the code to automatically determine your machine ID, as it was very dependent on Windows, and very buggy. I don’t have a mac to test it with or make builds, but it should build on them with no problems. If you have an Intel mac, you should be able to run this tool as-is with a tool called Wine.
