For future reference:
When you open your exe in the debugger and you dont see the addresses as displayed here, press play once to continue program execution. Once you see the addresses mentioned here, find 84E81B and press spacebar. modify the je to jne, and press play again to launch the program. Now enter in the provided license key. Now you can close the program. You can then patch the file, but Im not sure if thats necessary once registered.
