Activate BabelEdit temporarily / Unlimited trial
# BabelEdit Millennium Trial
Obviously for educative purposes only.
Furthermore, this DOESN'T activate BabelEdit permanently.
If you like the software, buy it, the devs deserve it.
1. Add to hosts file:
127.0.0.1 secure.codeandweb.com
2. Install BabelEdit
3. If you've already used your trial, open up REGEDIT (Windows+R, type regedit, Enter) and delete this entire key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\code-and-web.de\BabelEdit\licensing
4. Open BabelEdit, click "Try BabelEdit". It will try to activate over the internet and fail
5. Open the URL in first box
6. Copy the "Activation data" into a Base64 decoder eg. https://www.base64decode.org and decode it
7. In your favorite text editor change the "expiryDate" of your trial in the following two lines:
Line 23:
<key>expiryDate</key>
<string>2999-01-01</string>
Line 73:
<key>expiryDate</key>
<string>2999-01-01</string>
8. Copy the text to a Base64 encoder ex. https://www.base64encode.org/ and encode it again
9. Past the encoded Base64 in the second box of BabelEdit
10. Press "Activate". BabelEdit will open. Profit :)

Care to share details? I believe this only works with v2. Either way I suggest you buy a license, it's one time only, no subscription garbage.

Should be about the same, but instead of editing on regedit look for the plist file on the library. With that said I’m not sure if this works with the recent versions of the app. You’ll have to check as they might have added extra checks.

How can a mac system achieve the same effect? I hesitated for a long time about the price close to 400 Hong Kong dollars. I wanted to support the original version, but my family did not allow me to spend so much money to improve efficiency. Thank you so much
