CORE-Impact license bypass

I seem to have stumbled over a bug in Core Impact licensing mechanisms that will allow anyone to continually use the Core Impact product even after the license has expired. This is not a security issue but it is, I feel, either an oversight or a "feature" which can be abused to utilise the Core Impact product for longer than designed / desired. In my "business funded" Core Impact install on this machine, the license expired at the end of last month and the usualy "Your license has expired" pop-up appears, however it is easy to re-enable Core to a working install by merely changing the system date on the PC to say a month before the product was due to expire. Oops ;) I guess Core is using a very simplistic license mechanism. Emailed CORE two times, 1 week ago, no reply. -- regards c0ntex _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
