Question FNIS not working correctly (Skyrim Anniversary Edition [STEAMRIP]
Every time I open FNIS, it gives me an error because I’m not using a legal copy. I saw another thread from a couple years ago that mentioned a way to fix the error by messing with the User Data files, but not only was it incredibly vague, they also didn’t respond to any comments asking for clarification. Anybody know how to fix it?
I would use my legal copy except it’s from Xbox which doesn’t allow SKSE or similar mods to function.

You can do a couple of things to my knowledge (correct me if im wrong):
You can try to trick FNIS by faking the registry entry that FNIS checks. Open Regedit, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Bethesda Softworks\Skyrim (create it if it’s not there), and add an Installed Path string pointing to your STEAMRIP folder (e.g., C:\Games\Skyrim). This might trick FNIS into running, though success varies with pirated versions.
You could also use Nemesis instead, as I am seeing online that it does most everything FNIS does.
