Congratulations on pirating software? Am I missing something?

helping out a (family member) university student to get one more day access to the $3000+ software (which he won't ever use again) after the trial expired in order to pass his final exam.

That's piracy.

Seems to me like there are plenty of free programs for writing papers that could have been used in the first place.

AHK does have string functions. Quick example: http://pastebin.com/09kjNSvP

(pads number with 0s at start so that it is 2 digits)

As for checking if the PIN was accepted, it'd maybe work to check the window title or something. Chances are it will change once the software is registered. Then you can easily log the current PIN and break the loop.

Not that I support piracy, just thinking of ways to clean up that code a bit.

Adding to my above, I'd also like to point out that AHK has commands for selecting certain interface elements, which seems like a better solution than hard coding specific locations to click. Just another way to make it a bit cleaner/tidier.
