[MAC] Help Needed!!

Lets say i've got a non registered version of traktor 2 and
the time has run out. to install it again i will probably
need to delete some registry files to make the computer
think i install it for the first time. i may be a complete
idiot but does anybody know how to pull this off on a mac?
thanks in advance.

there's no such thing as a "registry" in Mac OS X

there is however a very deep seated file structure, which
programmers like to hide necessary files in to counteract
piracy and so on

to be honest mate you should really have used an install
tracker on your system so you could track where Traktor was
putting files.

your best bet now is macserialjunkie.com if the place still
exists

that is, assuming you're running OS X...

because OS X is a UNIX based system that is generally closed
off to the average user, many companies hide their necessary
files in the deep directory structure of your hard
drive....one file could be in /var/root, one could be
somewhere else

a lot of the directories on your machine are hidden by
default because they're part of this UNIX style file
structure, and it is a complete pain trying to clean your
system if you've no clue where files were installed :(

are you familiar with a UNIX command line shell such as bash
or tcsh?

if so, you might be able to tinker around in your home
folder, looking in the hidden directories and looking for
hidden files

if you're not familiar with it, try and find someone who is
:)

if my memory serves me correctly:

if you're running OS X 10.3.x your default shell should be
tcsh

if you were running 10.3.x but upgraded to 10.4.x
your shell will still be tcsh

if you are running a fresh install of 10.4.x your shell will
be bash

the difference is minimal, but i just thought i'd let you
know

One solution might be reinstaling the entire osx. but that
requires some backup.

Being a moderator it would probably be poor form for me to
recommend checking slsk or your favorite torrent site for a
cracked version.

so i wont
