How to Solve IDM fake key serial number problem.
I have been using IDM for last 4 years and it's really a nice download manager. People often get addicted to it and don't want to uninstall it at any cost. People who purchase a license of Internet Download Manager enjoy it without any problem but those who use "fake key" suffer from the message.

"Internet Download Manager has been registered with a fake serial number or serial number has been blocked. IDM is now exiting.......".
and try to solve this problem by using IDM Patcher.
