MAMP PRO 4 Trial Reset

A simple script that resets latest MAMP PRO 4 trial validity, and keeps your data safe.

How to use

  • Copy the code into a file OR download the script and save it as reset_mamp4.sh
  • Open the Terminal app and write chmod +x then drag and drop the file on the Terminal. You should have something like chmod +x reset_mamp4.sh. Press Enter to run it.
  • Now, run the file itself by dragging and dropping it on the Terminal (something like reset_mamp4.sh) then pressing Enter.
  • Open MAMP PRO and check if you have 14 days left now.

Didn't work?

Try using superpowers and run it as root sudo reset_mamp4.sh.

Did it work?

Let me know, or improve it by yourself.

use sudo /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb
Find all occurrences of MAMP with "locate MAMP"
remove all MAMP folders
Install MAMP Pro
Click Buy now and then click cancel. It will open with 14 days on trial.

What i do and it's working for 4.4.1 :
Uninstall mamppro
Type this command : sudo find / | grep mamppro
Then sudo rm -rf all folders appeared on the result of the last command
Finally reinstall mamppro.
It should work

Change line 5 to:

rm ~/Library/Preferences/de.living-e_to_appsolute.mampro.plist

and it'll work. Also, if you're using MAMP regularly, buy a license.

Just reset demo for 6.8 - there was a lot of files. run "sudo find / | grep mamp" and delete all the files/folders that match. some of them were quite hidden. re-install mamp
