A keygen designed specifically for Professional Notepad 2.9.
A keygen (truncation of "key generator") is a small program that will generate a key or serial/registration number for a piece of software. It is typically used as an adjunct to software piracy.
The advantage of using a keygen (as opposed to just finding a serial on the web) is that the generated key will be unique, (as it is generated on the spot using the same methods as the software vendor) and not traceable or in use by the legitimate owner.
Note: Some "keygens" actually cycle through known serial numbers as opposed to using real-time algorithmic key generation.
These are usually written by cryptology enthusiasts.
