i can't

Hi friend.

Disable Rational and then click to search. You will find 0F B6 51 05 83 F2 01, and after that, replace it with C6 41 05 01 B2 00 90.

it worked..
thanks friend

@sovedus do you know how to activate on macOS?

sovedus commented Jan 15, 2026

@khaihkd
If you have sed, it should be enough to replace the path to the executable file.

macOS: use homebrew gnu-sed (gsed) then

sudo gsed -i 's/\x0F\xB6\x51\x05\x83\xF2\x01/\xC6\x41\x05\x01\xB2\x00\x90/' /Applications/Sublime\ Text.app/Contents/MacOS/sublime_text

@jbeddoes getting this error: gsed: couldn't open temporary file /Applications/Sublime Text.app/Contents/MacOS/sedkSVsli: Operation not permitted

../sedkSVsli isn't a bin we're targeting here. Your target is ../sublime_text
@sovedus recommends you make a backup of this file before using sed/gsed. Which on macOS you'd use the following two commands in terminal:
1: sudo cp /Applications/Sublime\ Text.app/Contents/MacOS/sublime_text /Applications/Sublime\ Text.app/Contents/MacOS/sublime_text.bak
2: sudo gsed -i 's/\x0F\xB6\x51\x05\x83\xF2\x01/\xC6\x41\x05\x01\xB2\x00\x90/' /Applications/Sublime\ Text.app/Contents/MacOS/sublime_text

If u want to use it on windows, just open Powershell as administrator and copy this:

copy "C:\Program Files\Sublime Text\sublime_text.exe" "C:\Program Files\Sublime Text\sublime_text.exe.bak"
$file = "C:\Program Files\Sublime Text\sublime_text.exe"
$bytes = [System.IO.File]::ReadAllBytes($file)

$search = [byte[]](0x0F, 0xB6, 0x51, 0x05, 0x83, 0xF2, 0x01)
$replace = [byte[]](0xC6, 0x41, 0x05, 0x01, 0xB2, 0x00, 0x90)

for ($i = 0; $i -le $bytes.Length - $search.Length; $i++) {
$match = $true
for ($j = 0; $j -lt $search.Length; $j++) {
if ($bytes[$i + $j] -ne $search[$j]) { $match = $false; break }
}
if ($match) {
[Array]::Copy($replace, 0, $bytes, $i, $replace.Length)
break
}
}

[System.IO.File]::WriteAllBytes($file, $bytes)

Great share but the native web hex editor didn't work as it used to. I couldn't insert the new value, then i proceeded to
install a different hexeditor and then only it replaced the entire string or value and boom full version.
Cheers

Bro, nothing for Sublime Text Build 4205? I don't find a complete reference (in this version) with your trick.

Hey there, ur method worked by the second method. But now it says, Upgrade License Required.

Did u also had similar output. Is it normal. Do i need to provide a license, or will it work just as it is.
I m confused. Can u suggest something. 😐😐😐
It amazing how u guys do these kind of things. But still, u r the hero.
Should i leave it like that.

Sublime Text licenses include 3 years of free updates. If you are using build 4205 and seeing a "License Upgrade Required" prompt, your original purchase is more than 3 years old. You can either purchase a license upgrade, or continue using your last eligible version for free (since Sublime licenses do not expire).

AnnyoingPirate commented Jul 1, 2026

I'm assuming that by “second method” you mean the patch for the Windows version?

Did u also had similar output. Is it normal. Do i need to provide a license, or will it work just as it is.
I m confused. Can u suggest something.

I checked it on Linux and Windows, and you shouldn't see the “License Upgrade Required” message. If a pop-up window asking you to update your license (or sth like that) doesn't appear while you're using the program, it's likely just a cosmetic issue.

However, if you want to remove this information, make sure you've changed the second sequence correctly.
For Windows, it will be this one:

0x000AABD7: 0x48 -> 0xEB
0x000AABD8: 0x83 -> 0x28

Find:    45 89 27 48 83 BC 24 A8
Diff:    -- -- -- EB 28 -- -- --
Replace: 45 89 27 EB 28 BC 24 A8

And since you launched the program using the provided license and it wasn't later removed as invalid by the online verification, the other two sequences have been changed correctly.

thechoosen1980 commented Jul 2, 2026

Thank u for ur codes, but now it says please enter ur serial now. Although i am using Eazy fix, some of the snapshots are showing similar results. Why does the codes behaves despite putting it. Anyways i cannot test it now. I'll quote u if ur methods works.
Also i don't see me using Sublime Text just for editing text. Its better for coders, i think. I think i'll to be content with notepad++.
Will holler u soon. Good night.

Oi amigo.
Desative o Rational e clique em pesquisar. Você encontrará 0F B6 51 05 83 F2 01 e, em seguida, substitua por C6 41 05 01 B2 00 90.

Funcionou... obrigado, amigo!
