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 :)
