My buddy gave me a CD with some programs on it, and I have never heard of this one in particular.

Keygen by PARADOX

What is it and what does it do?

Could be anything really. PARADOX is a group that does a lot of program hacking to bypass the user security priviledges put on many commercial software products. BE careful what you open.

Its from my Dads MIS. Hes the Info Sys. Director for a Division of the ARMY. It was part of the Disc my dad got for an exe. CD of Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional, Adobe Photoshop 8.0 CS2, Adobe Illustrator CS2, Adobe ImageReady CS2, and Adobe Designer 7.0.

It's a "crack" file that allows programs to be "cracked" and installed without registration and/or a CD key.

Ask your buddy what it's for ... they are usually application specific.

Key generators are illegal, and used to steal software, therefore this post is closed.
