HASP4 now blocking updates

with great help from gurus here at this forum and RETEAM, i have been smoothly using my emulated software for many happy years.
i have the dongles as well, (the 'green fish' ones) but when using the soft at home, i didn't want to run the risk of losing one.
now, work no longer pays for ability to update to a new release. even though i don't think its a HASP4 time dongle, i've searched and read every thread even closely related to my problem (extend maintenance expire date), but with not much luck. i've compared line-by-line visually and using file compare soft between my .reg files from year to year (after vendor update) and seems that change occurred in only 4 places in first 3 lines of
"Data"=hex:
After trying to figure out elapsed hours/days etc (from a thread long forgotten) or just plain changing the values at random my result is that i am getting nowhere. however, i DID manage to change the expiration date from 2016 to 1832.
seems i took a wrong turn in the dongle time tunnel   it also appears that no matter what i change, this moonwalk in time to 1832 is all i can conjure up.
i would REALLY appreciate if anyone can help me figure this out.
Thanx!

Hello, may I help you on public

still playing with changing bytes in my .reg file, but to no avail. I see many forum views, but no other offer of possible solution.
Thanks to ovis25 for help via PM and Key Dump? I prefer to not go public with everything. Hope you understand.
I have vendor provided  exe(s) to update my HASP (& multikey emulation) from 2014 to 2015 and then to 2016. No HASP needed at home!
This is where I am stuck. I just cannot see a pattern in the reg files after each update.
Am grateful for all help from exetools and reteam sites because I can use 2016 version of soft forever. (this $$ already paid to soft vendor)
Not to be greedy, but would like to 'kick the tires' on later versions, but somehow the reg file prohibits me. I'll continue to search a solution, but if anyone has some hints? I would most appreciate them.
