I have recently started with reverse engineering. I have gone through a couple of tutorials on ollydbg.

I have a program that i am trying to patch. The software was bought but the software company have closed and i am unable to get a activation key from the website for the purchased software. Hence i am trying to skip the activation/serial key and go straight to the app.

I loaded the app into olly and looked for strings. No luck. Next i searched for intermodular calls. I have some calls to windows api but none of the breakpoints seem to work.

My question:
I saw a whole lot of calls to the mfc42.dll but i don't know how to resolve these names.

It displays as call mfc42.#????. After some reading i found that i need to load a map file into olly with the mapconv plugin. I have no idea how to create this file. Any help would be appreciated
