What happen if you are going to download anything important and suddenly you
got a pop up message from IDM that "IDM has been registered with
fake serial number. IDM is now exiting..." ???

Grr... I used to hate that pop up.
I read few articles about how to solve this problem on different blogs and got

100% working solution for IDM !!!

So here am writing a better tutorial with pics to help you guys...
Just follow my steps :

Step 1: Open hosts file which is present in
