5: Please note:
Your PC needs to be connected to the internet to use GetHWID, GetHWID will connect to our server and auto decode your hardware ID to a ma2_key.lic file, this license can support MA2 different version since Year2018 to now, for all version, maybe next version can be supported.
If you have a different MA2 version installed on your computer, you just need to copy these two files to a directory of different versions, then can support it.
You may encounter the following questions:
1: Why I copy winusb.dll and ma2_key.lic files to MA2 directory but can’t unlock parameters?
Check this:
A: In MA2 update software see parameters count, is it is 131072?
if parameters count is 131072, that mean ma2 unlock is good, if artnet not out data, please see this :
http://hahan123.com/en/2024/04/04/ma2-how-to-setup-artnet-output-step-by-step/
or
In MA2 CMD input: Edit DmxUniverse 1, when windows show, then will actively output, only do once.
or
Check whether the two DMX node device is added to the MA2-NET protocol.
B: if parameters not unlock 131072, check winusb.dll is it in ma2 directory, if not or killed by antivirus software, close your antivirus software or add winusb.dll in antivirus software white list, then copy winusb.dll to ma2 directory again.
because, all cracked software uses virus technology and can be easily detected, mistakenly killed and deleted by antivirus software.
C: If you get an error when running MA2, it is most likely caused by incomplete downloading of the winusb.dll file. Please note: that the size of winusb.dll is 14.3M (15,040,000 bytes) and the footprint is 14.3M (15,040,512 bytes), You can right-click on the winusb.dll file -> property -> to see this information, if this information is not correct, it means that the download may be incomplete, please delete this file in directory , and press “Have activation code, activate from net server” again, then will re-download this file again.
2: Why artnet can’t be output?
Please Note: If you want to out MA2 Artnet data to your device, the IP of the Lan card needs to be changed to the 2.x.x.x network segment, MA2 will not out Artnet data to the 192.168.x.x network segment.
