# This is an in-memory patch that launches and patches Voicemeeter Potato in memory on startup.
# It will not actually properly activate Voicemeeter but by supressing the activation popup after the trial period expires
# it behaves as if it has been activated for all intents and purposes.
#
# The most recent versions of Voicemeeter Potato validate their own binary integrity by checking the digital file signature
# so it is no longer possible to simply apply the patch to the binary itself and I couldn't be bothered to figure out how to bypass the signature check.
# This patch was developed for version 3.0.2.8 but it should work for newer versions as long as no major changes are made to the activation popup.
#
# For this to work as an autorun you can create a Task Scheduler Task with high privileges that launches this python script on logon.
# You have to pass the full exe path and file name of the Voicemeeter exe you want to patch as the only argument.
# The script will launch Voicemeeter and then immediately patch its memory.
