StarUML Full License & Exporting Diagrams in High Resolution

This guide will walk you through how to license StarUML and export diagrams without watermarks in high resolution. Follow each step carefully to ensure success.

---

1. Install StarUML

Download the latest version of StarUML from the official website.

---

2. Install asar

Next, install asar, a utility to manage .asar files. Open your terminal as an administrator and run the following command:

npm i asar -g

Important

Make sure to have the LTS version of Node.js installed to ensure compatibility and avoid errors when running npm commands. You can download the LTS version from nodejs.org.

This will install asar globally.

---

3. Extract app.asar

To access the files needed to modify the license and export settings, extract the app.asar file.

Navigate to the StarUML directory. By default, it’s located at:

• Windows: C:/Program Files/StarUML/resources
• MacOS: /Applications/StarUML.app/Contents/Resources
• Linux: /opt/staruml/resources

You can use the cd command to navigate to your specific directory. For example:

cd "C:/Program Files/StarUML/resources"

Run the following command in your terminal as an Administrator (Git Bash, PowerShell, or CMD):

asar e app.asar app

This will extract the app.asar file into a folder called app.

---

4. Modify the License Manager

In the extracted files, navigate to the following path:

Program Files/StarUML/resources/app/src/engine/license-manager.js

Open the license-manager.js file in your preferred code editor and paste this modified license manager code here.

const { EventEmitter } = require("events"); 
const fs = require("fs"); 
const path = require("path"); 
const crypto = require("crypto");

5. Exporting Diagrams in High Resolution (Without Watermarks)

To export diagrams in high resolution without watermarks, locate and modify the following file:

Program Files/StarUML/resources/app/src/diagram-export.js

Open the diagram-export.js file and replace the export code with this high-resolution export logic:

const fs = require("fs-extra");
const filenamify = require("filenamify");
const PDFDocument = require("pdfkit");
const { Point, ZoomFactor, Canvas } = require("../core/graphics");
const { PDFCanvas } = require("./pdf-graphics");
const { Context } = require("svgcanvas");

const BOUNDING_BOX_EXPAND = 10;

const PDF_MARGIN = 30;
const PDF_DEFAULT_ZOOM = 1; // Default Zoom Level

/**
 * @private
 * Get Base64-encoded image data of diagram
 * @param {Editor} editor
 * @param {string} type (e.g. 'image/png')
 * @return {string}
 */
function getImageData(diagram, type) {
  // Crear un nuevo canvas para generar la imagen
  var canvasElement = document.createElement("canvas");
  var canvas = new Canvas(canvasElement.getContext("2d"));
  var boundingBox = diagram.getBoundingBox(canvas);

  // Initialize new canvas
  // Expandir el boundingBox para asegurar que se incluya todo el diagrama
  boundingBox.expand(BOUNDING_BOX_EXPAND);
  // Ajustar el origen del canvas para no recortar el diagrama
  canvas.origin = new Point(-boundingBox.x1, -boundingBox.y1);
  canvas.zoomFactor = new ZoomFactor(1, 1);
  // Aquí calculamos el tamaño real del canvas antes de aplicar la relación de píxeles
  canvasElement.width = boundingBox.getWidth(); // Anchura real
  canvasElement.height = boundingBox.getHeight(); // Altura real

  // Configuración para pantallas de alta DPI (Retina)
  if (window.devicePixelRatio) {
    var ratio = window.devicePixelRatio * 2; // Ajustar el ratio para alta calidad
    canvasElement.width *= ratio;  // Aumentar la anchura según el ratio
    canvasElement.height *= ratio; // Aumentar la altura según el ratio
    canvas.context.scale(ratio, ratio);  // Escalar el contexto del canvas
  }

  // Dibujar un fondo blanco solo para JPEG (para evitar el fondo transparente)
  if (type === "image/jpeg") {
    canvas.context.fillStyle = "#ffffff";
    canvas.context.fillRect(0, 0, canvasElement.width, canvasElement.height);
  }

  // Dibujar el diagrama en el nuevo canvas
  diagram.arrangeDiagram(canvas);
  diagram.drawDiagram(canvas);

  // Devolver los datos del canvas en base64
  var data = canvasElement.toDataURL(type, 1.0).replace(/^data:image\/(png|jpeg);base64,/, "");
  return data;
}

/**
 * @private
 * Get SVG image data of editor.diagram

 */
function getSVGImageData(diagram) {
  const boundingBox = diagram.getBoundingBox(canvas);
  boundingBox.expand(BOUNDING_BOX_EXPAND);
  const w = boundingBox.getWidth();
  const h = boundingBox.getHeight();

  // Make a new SVG canvas for making SVG image data
  var ctx = new Context(w, h);
  var canvas = new Canvas(ctx);

  // Initialize new SVG Canvas
  canvas.origin = new Point(-boundingBox.x1, -boundingBox.y1);
  canvas.zoomFactor = new ZoomFactor(2, 2);  // Aplicamos un zoom adicional para mayor calidad

  // Draw diagram to the new SVG Canvas
  diagram.arrangeDiagram(canvas);
  diagram.drawDiagram(canvas);

  // Return the SVG data
  var data = ctx.getSerializedSvg(true);
  return data;
}

6. Repack app.asar

Once you have edited the necessary files, you need to repack the app.asar file. Navigate back to the resources directory and run the following command:

asar pack app app.asar

This will repack your modified app folder back into a .asar file.

---

7. Clean Up

After repacking the app.asar, you can safely remove the extracted app folder to clean up your directory.

Remove the app folder:

• For Windows:

  rmdir /s /q app

• For Linux or Mac:

  rm -rf app

---

8. Launch StarUML

Now that everything is set up, launch StarUML by running the StarUML.exe file from your installation directory or through the desktop shortcut.

---

Enjoy!

Congratulations! You now have StarUML fully licensed and can export diagrams in high resolution without watermarks.

Note

This guide applies to StarUML version 6.2.2. Ensure you are using the correct version for compatibility.

Perfect! still work on 6.3.1

i can open it but it still shows this

i can open it but it still shows this

Close all your staruml processes before doing the trick, and make sure to correctly modify the 2 files that I gave you the code

thanks it seems to be working now

thanks!
