So for Windows/Linux x64, I have created a Sublime Text 4 plugin which can patch itself. Tested working on Sublime Text latest stable/dev build: 4168/4169

https://github.com/n6333373/warehouse/raw/main/SelfPatcher.zip

Quick Demo

Going to ask again. since it seems I was ignored.

@n6333373 Can you open source this, so we can make it work for linux/macOS?

Thank you

@bithack3r If you read the error message again, you will see the suggestion: use .\xxd.exe instead of xxd Because Win11 uses PowerShell instead of cmd.exe, and PowerShell doesn't use programs in the current folder by default.

It didn't work for me on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. The sublime_text doesn't open after the fixes.

Not at this moment. But if you are interested in helping for either arm64 or Mac, I can add you into my private repository.
@maboloshi actually has access to it like years ago but maybe he just doesn't care.

Actually, it is being used quietly.😊
My idea is to increase the threshold and limit the use to a small area. That's why I don't provide more detailed or simpler ways to use it and reduce abuse.

@Bruskyer @bithack3r Win 11 use PowerShell by default, but the patch of maboloshi should be run in "Command Prompt".
You can use the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+2 to open it, or click on the "down arrow" and select "Command Prompt".

I got a patcher in web browser that you can use to patch ST 4169 to allow the famous TwitterInc license

The web browser can't write to your application files. You have to manually overwrite it with the patched file.

This new patcher is much simpler than my previous one (which has many more functions)

I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Every command executes correctly but I still have unregistered app on m1 mac. @dawning7670 can you tell how exactly did you do it?

@ezamelczyk Remove Sublime Text 4 and try again. Here are my steps:

codesign --force --deep --sign - "/Applications/Sublime Text.app"

3. Run bash patch.sh

That's all.

idk man that's exactly what I did and it didn't work. checksum is correct and the signature is replaced and I still have an unregistered product.

@ezamelczyk you should open "Enter License" (in menu Help) and type something there

…

Currently, the rules for ST4170, 4171 have changed considerably and are basically obsolete.

The plugin SelfPatcher.sublime-package made by @n6333373 continues to work!

@maboloshi I guess that SelfPatcher uses the same patterns (based on leogx9r's work) as you do. So both should work or fail at the same time. @n6333373 What patterns do you use in SelfPatcher? Can you give a hint?

@Destitute-Streetdwelling-Guttersnipe Not exactly.

@n6333373 What patterns do you use in SelfPatcher? Can you give a hint?

@Destitute-Streetdwelling-Guttersnipe I think I used bad1dea's patterns on Windows x32/x64 and leogx9r's patterns on Linux x64.

@n6333373 What patterns do you use in SelfPatcher? Can you give a hint?

@Destitute-Streetdwelling-Guttersnipe I think I used bad1dea's patterns on Windows x32/x64 and leogx9r's patterns on Linux x64.

@maboloshi that's a great screenshot. It show all the changes. What tool did you use for comparison?

@n6333373 Thank you. From the screenshot, I can see that you combine several patches from bad1dea, leogx9r and your own patches.

@maboloshi that's a great screenshot. It show all the changes. What tool did you use for comparison?

@Destitute-Streetdwelling-Guttersnipe I use Beyond Compare for file comparison.

@maboloshi From the screenshot, I notice something: - The 2nd and 3rd changes are the same to the "Persistent License Check" 1 and 2. You should use some bytes before that in your patterns. They rarely change. - The 4th change is the RSA key patch from bad1dea. You can use it instead of the "Initial License Check". - The 5th and 6th changes are similar to your patches for "Disable License Notify Thread" and "Disable Server Validation Thread". But they are better than yours, because they almost never change. - The 1st and last changes are only for the certificate. It's optional.

• The 1st and last changes are only for the certificate. It's optional.

I was wondering which one is better

• Remove the invalid certificate
• Or keep the invalid certificate

@urxi macOS is not working in either stable or dev on an M1 with Sonoma.

Was wondering why I was getting so many weird notifications, did 4173 change that much - I can take a look at the windows and linux (x64) versions if there's an issue, ping me if there is and I can update accordingly.

@AxleUnix Thank you very much for the Win64 Patch.
