@almasbani with the terminal you run bash navicat_reset_trial.sh
then you can create a cronjob to run the file automatically.

can you help please

I used your code on previous Navicat Premium versione and it works. With the last Navicat Premium (16.3.2) and Navicat for Postgres (16.3.2) is not working WIN 11

How can you run above sh script in windows ?

Tested with 16.3.2 on macOS Sonoma 14.1.1 with bash 5.2.15 installed with homebrew and it's working. I have added a bit more logs to help to see if the regex is working to catch the hashes.

This is for Navicat Premium ONLY, other versions are not supported.

Thanks bro! It works on navicat 16 and macOS 14.1.1

my trial period is already over how to make this work anyone please help

@Kumarjit88 You could run this bash shell again, and use crontab command to set a schedule task.

I don't think it's works anymore with version 16.3.3

@Ttou @Danydeidei following the script manually works, I did it with 16.3.1. I will fix regex script later
