This tricks the service on the IP address.Ĥ) Once downloaded, just follow the instructions.a bunch of executables and scripts that you need to do.

It also came with the EDIABAS and standard toolsģ) Download was fairly straight forward from the Megaupload link. NET executables, registry change scripts, etc.
