If the registration is valid, then the window of the program "Preferences -> Settings"
opens in a new window, if not, then you need to call the window "About Sublime Text" 
from program menu and the registration status of the program will be resumed. Enough to do one time.

Second Step:

  • $ sudo nano /etc/hosts (u can use other text editor)
  • copy & paste

Entries to add to /etc/hosts:

0.0.0.0 www.sublimemerge.com
0.0.0.0 sublimemerge.com
0.0.0.0 www.sublimetext.com
0.0.0.0 sublimetext.com
0.0.0.0 sublimehq.com
0.0.0.0 telemetry.sublimehq.com
0.0.0.0 license.sublimehq.com
0.0.0.0 download.sublimetext.com
0.0.0.0 download.sublimemerge.com
0.0.0.0 45.55.255.55
0.0.0.0 45.55.41.223
  • Ctrl + w & click enter to save

Third Step:

Add IP addresses to block:

iptables -A OUTPUT -d 45.55.41.223/32 -j REJECT
iptables -A OUTPUT -d 45.55.255.55/32 -j REJECT

For Ubuntu UFW:

$ sudo ufw insert 1 deny out to 45.55.255.55/32 comment 'Block Sublime out host-1'
$ sudo ufw insert 2 deny in to 45.55.255.55/32 comment 'Block Sublime in host-1'
$ sudo ufw insert 3 deny out to 45.55.41.223/32 comment 'Block Sublime out host-2'
$ sudo ufw insert 4 deny in to 45.55.41.223/32 comment 'Block Sublime in host-2'
$ sudo ufw status numbered verbose
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure iptables-persistent

Run Sublime Text & appreciate the magic ^^
