Lost that precious CD Key? Original media unreadable? Oscar’s Daddy may be for you.

Posted on May 3rd, 2008 by vaelek

image Oscar’s Daddy was originally inspired by a program that is now a decade old and all but forgotten, entitled Oscar. Oscar was Widely used in the 90’s Warez scene, primarily by the group Phrozen Crew. Oscar was simply an application that contained key generators and serial numbers for almost every popular software package that existed at the time.

To the best of my knowledge, there exists no equivalent to Oscar’s Daddy at this time.

Many times I have lost serial numbers for purchased applications, other times the original CD becomes unreadable. While there is an obvious use for Oscar’s Daddy to enable the use of pirated software, it’s intention is to provide a way for people to continue using legitimately obtained software that might otherwise be un-usable for various reasons.

Originally created with Delphi for my own personal use sometime around 2004, I have finally updated OD, ported it to C#, and decided to release it to the public.
