Changing SmartGit Free Trial License to Non-Commercial

Some developers might overlook the license selection when using the SmartGit. Instead of choose non-commercial, they by default clicked Next on the “30 days Free Trial”. Worse thing is reinstall the SmartGit won’t get you to change the license.

To alter the license. First, go to

Windows: %APPDATA%\syntevo\SmartGit\<main-smartgit-version>
OS X: ~/Library/Preferences/SmartGit/<main-smartgit-version>
Unix/Linux: ~/.smartgit/<main-smartgit-version>

and remove the file settings.xml.

Then start SmartGit program again. This time you will be ask about all the Settings information, which including the license!

install git on centos:
https://webtatic.com/packages/git17/

there is no file named settings.xml is present there....please help me.

Hi @1MuhammadFarhanAslam It's very old note, and maybe smartgit updated. I'm really not sure how to fix now, because I have not used smartgit in long time ago. If you are using ubuntu, you can try a suggestion at here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70811339/how-to-switch-with-smartgit-to-non-commercial-version-on-ubuntu-20-04

Yoг can remove "evaluation" file

I can't find the directory .smartgit in Ubuntu Linux

please install the previous version again(smartgit-win-21_1_7 was ok for me)
and please tick the non-commercial option while installing

I confirm, the older version is ok: https://www.syntevo.com/downloads/smartgit/smartgit-win-21_1_7.zip

Thus I recommend delete C:\Users\YOURNAME\AppData\Roaming\syntevo and install v.21 https://www.syntevo.com/smartgit/download/archive/

I can't find the directory .smartgit in Ubuntu Linux

I found and deleted the configuration files in Linux in the folder ~home/.config/smartgit. Installed the older version 21 and the problem has been solved.
Thanks to everyone who responded!

Now i received message that smartgit will stop working on May 30 (even old version).
So does it mean that there is no way to use old version for non commercial?

Found Non-commercial licensing changes for SmartGit 22.1 which explains the change in license. It has a link to Apply for Non-Commercial License. I haven't yet attempted to apply using the Open Source application via GitHub.

Did you find a solution for "Non-Commercial License" without a GitHub account that respect "everyone who spends the majority of their work on open-source projects (before, it was only “to actively work on open-source projects”, which is significantly more restrictive)"?

For me it's back to my previous client. I don't fit their idea of a non-commercial user but the hobby license is too restrictive for me.

Which client do you use?

same here, i work for education but the process seam too complicated to get a free licence

Sup guys. I use now v20.2.6 without any troubles. You can edit your smartgit.sh file for auto-reset trial period as follows:

config="/home/$USER/.config/smartgit/<YOUR_SMARTGIT_VERSION>/preferences.yml"
# current date in msec + 25 days
NEW_DATE=$(date -d"+25 days" +%s%3N)
# sed is for change old date for new one in config
sed -r -i "s/(listx: \{eUT: )[0-9]+/\1$NEW_DATE/g" $config
sed -r -i "s/(, nRT: )[0-9]+/\1$NEW_DATE/g" $config

If you use your SmartGit instance as deb-package probably your smartgit.sh located at /usr/share/smartgit/bin/smartgit.sh

@alxpsr this is very elegant and works great, thanks!
