Question about Yendif Video Share Pro v1 to V2 changes from J3 to J4

I've been using this component across 3 domains and I've had a proper key for each site via a keygen using v1.25. The recent changes to my provider forcing PHP 7 to 8 has forced me to move to Joomla 4 and requiring me to upgrade the video share component. Of course the keys and keygen are no longer valid and I have yet to see a newer version than 2.0.1 anywhere. The latest download is 2.1.2. Even in the downloads of 2.0.0 and 2.0.1, there is no key info or way to get it out of demo mode on the player and the branding is pointing back to the author site which is not something that is wanted. My sites don't generate revenue, and paying $150 for each domain is out of the question.

So my question is, does anyone know where to get the latest and greatest PRO version of this component? And anyone know if there is a proper keygen for it?

The keygen back then (v1.25 and earlier) was based on the SWF player algo and could be replicated via an HTML script, I've been trying to debug it (v2.1.2 demo) using VSCODE and the license code in the html5.php file is "similar" to the old code in the SWF decompiled player with some constant changes, but the thing is, I think it is BS from the author since the code is never called (using the "demo" downloaded version), so I'm not sure if the calling code is missing or if it is just a rabbit hole thing. I know that the entire component has dropped SWF completely and is only an HTML5 engine that is using video.js as the HTML5 engine and not sure if that is all done as a key exchange during the HTML5 player build.

There is a BASE64 URL link in one of the files, I'm not sure if that is a "call home" and pull down a player from video.js and use the key from my sites database to see if it's valid which would remove any possible way to crack/null the extension because it would all be done external between yendif and vidoe.js and rendered down to my site without any way for me to change the initial status as a demo mode only thing.

This also gives me pause as it means they are depending on a 3rd part to serve me a player to render my site. I could be wrong, but I'm not entirely sure of the mechanics, but it just seems that way from what I've seen. I look at that as, what if they have a blackout, or go out of business..... then what? I assume when you buy, you own, if my assumption is right, then this would just be another landmine... but anyway...

I may have to convert to another video component, but that would suck big time. So just wondering if anyone here had any insight on this?
