Not working. Should also use dd (and sudo), not xxd from root (which is bad form and will behave differently across different distros and shells)

Rewritten using dd (still doesn't work though)

Does anyone have for sm2125 I mean working way

Linux

@ChaoticHolon you can emulate xxd with a bash function. It will make your script much easier to read. xxd() ( # emulate `xxd -r` and read data from stdin: `echo 123abc dd ee ff | xxd -r - filename` read ofs hex; printf \\x${hex// /\\x} | dd seek=$(($ofs)) of="$3" bs=1 conv=notrunc )

Hello Guys, is there any patch for SM 2125???

Windows Sublime Merge 2125
Powershell (run as administrator)

cd "C:\Program Files\Sublime Merge"

$bytes = [System.IO.File]::ReadAllBytes("$pwd\sublime_merge.exe")

function Patch-Bytes($offset, $hexString) {
    $newBytes = $hexString -split ' ' | ForEach-Object { [Convert]::ToByte($_, 16) }
    for ($i = 0; $i -lt $newBytes.Length; $i++) {
        $bytes[$offset + $i] = $newBytes[$i]
    }
}
#Patching ONLY the is_license_valid feature at 0x00048116
Patch-Bytes 0x00048116 "48 C7 C0 01 00 00 00 C3"

Write-Host "Success" -ForegroundColor Green

Anyone have it for Mac?

While this does work for MacOS, it's not complete because you can't just edit the files in the /Application/ folder without configuring a ton of things and disabling critical security features. I tried to make @urxi's method WHICH ONLY WORKS FOR SUBLIME MERGE 2121, detailed below:

work on any Mac without all that configuration by modifying his script into one that copies it into a different folder and runs everything that can fail there:

# 1. Close Sublime Merge completely
killall "Sublime Merge" 2>/dev/null

# 2. Clear old working environments and copy the ENTIRE app bundle to your desktop
rm -rf ~/Desktop/sm_clean_patch
mkdir -p ~/Desktop/sm_clean_patch
cp -R "/Applications/Sublime Merge.app" ~/Desktop/sm_clean_patch/

# 3. Drop into your local workspace
cd ~/Desktop/sm_clean_patch/Sublime\ Merge.app/Contents/MacOS/

# 4. Force read/write permissions onto the local binary copy
chmod 755 ./sublime_merge

# 5. Apply your xxd byte replacements to the isolated binary

# 6. Step back out to the app's parent folder on your desktop
cd ~/Desktop/sm_clean_patch/

# 7. Strip all system tracking and quarantine flags from the local bundle
xattr -cr "./Sublime Merge.app"

# 8. Force sign the local app copy (this bypasses the /Applications lock)
codesign --force --deep --sign - "./Sublime Merge.app"

# 9. Purge the original locked app from your system folder using root privileges
sudo rm -rf "/Applications/Sublime Merge.app"

after that runs, open Sublime Merge, go to Help -> Enter License and paste this in:

----- END LICENSE -----

After that runs, you should be good to go!!

NOTE: You need to get the Sublime Merge 2121 Binaries from the website, that's the only way it can work! It doesn't work on newer releases! You cannot update!

https://pastebin.com/U5UPf6Zh

The above python should work on any version of sublime text (Mac) (I added pattern matching) so you don't need to update the patch each time.

This patch should work on all versions of sublime merge for Mac as well

https://pastebin.com/ckauSphP

EDIT: I updated this, it seems to crash when adding the license, I dont have time to look at it right now, but the problems is

The crash is a bug in x86 p4's poff.

a friend has linked me this, so i guess, no need to manual patch this anymore

https://github.com/Antibioticss/sublime-keygen

https://github.com/Antibioticss/sublime-keygen interesting idea. But still difficult to update for new version of ST/SM

it's worked on my PC, applied then enter any License Key.

@tuannguyen0328 it's not necessary to write many zeros like that. *One zero* is enough to nuke it.

*Linux* build-agnostic across builds *4176-4206* (including dev versions): https://github.com/stephanschielke/sublime-text-4-dev-patcher

@stephanschielke good research and documentation. It's funny that build 4206 and 4201 use *0x118* as success value from license check.
