Here's my method for breaking their license protection. I've specifically applied the below to v4107.

Quick note: This isn't meant for newbies, this shows you how to patch the current and (most likely) future versions of Sublime Text. I've been using this for a while now.

Here's a basic rundown of how license validation and invalidation works:

• Licenses have hardcoded (lol, remove blacklist and patch server thread, 10/10 protection) blacklists in the executable and are signed via an RSA public key (which is 'encrypted' in the binary, basically some xor stuff).
• Application tries to validate an invalid license every 5 seconds. It expects this to fail but if it succeeds, it will unregister you after 480 seconds. This is why simply patching the validity function isn't enough.
• Application tries to validate your current license every 15 seconds. It expects this to succeed but if it fails, it will unregister you after 360 seconds.
• The application creates a thread to validate the current license with the server at license.sublimehq.com whenever the application is started (config file read) or when modifying your current license. If this succeeds to connect and your license isn't correct it will unregister you.

So how can you bypass all this? Dare I say, efficiently?

• Patch the validation function (isLicenseValid as I call it) for anything to always return 0 (valid). Values from 1-4 specify either an invalid, blacklisted or unsupported/expired license.
• Prevent thread creation for the validation/invalidation routines to avoid the license being unregistered after X seconds due to patching isLicenseValid. Optionally simply remove the "unregister" function here. Doesn't matter how you go about it really.
• Disable server validation thread or patch the HTTP host so it always fails to connect. Most people resort to using hosts to redirect the license server to localhost or renaming the host in the binary. A far better way is simply to avoid a dead thread being created that does this check.

Disabling creation of these 3 threads is my preferred method since you obviously save resources as you don't need to constantly have new threads opened every X seconds.

Why I consider this better than other methods?

• No need to find a "working"/"nonblacklisted" license. You can literally enter "Hello World!" as a valid license.
• No useless thread creation eating up resources. A small performance improvement you'll absolutely never notice.
• You don't have to patch /etc/hosts or system32/drivers/etc/hosts.
• Relies on patterns so you can build your own script to auto-patch on updates, provided patterns don't break of course.
• Doesn't decide to randomly expire.

How tho?

Patch the following methods:

• License Validity Checking (Aka IsValidLicense

Make isLicenseValid return 0, pattern is a reference to call isLicenseValid. I personally just replaced the method with xor rax, rax; ret so 48 31 C0 C3.

    Linux/MacOS x64 Pattern: `direct reference sig: E8 ? ? ? ? 49 8B BF ? ? ? ? 85 C0`
    Windows x64 Pattern:     `direct reference sig: E8 ? ? ? ? 48 8B 8B ? ? ? ? 85 C0`

• Invalidation/Validation Functions

These cause delayed unregistration after 360/480 seconds so NOP out the calls to avoid them. Aka replace E8 XX XX XX XX with 90 90 90 90 90.

    Windows x64 Pattern 1: `direct reference sig: (+0x6) 41 B8 ? ? ? ? E8 ? ? ? ? 49 8B 96`
                Pattern 2: `raw sig: E8 ? ? ? ? E8 ? ? ? ? 4C 89 F1 E8`
    Linux x64   Pattern 1: `raw sig: E8 ? ? ? ? 48 89 5C 24 ? 48 8B B3`
                Pattern 2: `raw sig: E8 ? ? ? ? BF ? ? ? ? E8 ? ? ? ? 83 25`
    MacOS       Pattern 1: `raw sig: E8 ? ? ? ? 48 89 9D ? ? ? ? 48 8B B3`
                Pattern 2: `raw sig: E8 ? ? ? ? 48 8D 3D ? ? ? ? E8 ? ? ? ? 83 25`

• Server Validation Thread

Simply make this instantly return 1 to disable thread creation or patch the hostname to something invalid. I personally prefer to simply disable thread creation by making this return 1, aka 48 31 C0 48 FF C0 C3, xor rax, rax; inc rax; ret.

    Windows x64 Pattern: `raw sig: 55 56 57 48 83 EC 30 48 8D 6C 24 ? 48 C7 45 ? ? ? ? ? 89 D6 48 89 CF 6A 28`
    Linux x64   Pattern: `raw sig: 55 41 56 53 41 89 F6 48 89 FD 6A 28`
    MacOS       Pattern: `raw sig: 55 48 89 E5 41 57 41 56 53 50 41 89 F6 49 89 FF 6A 20`

Now what?

After patching simply register with anything you want. It can even be just a random letter, a space, a word, a sentence, a valid or invalid license -- whatever you want. Here's what I registered with:

I've uploaded a portable copy of the Windows x64 bit version, already patched, here. Simply replace the sublime_text.exe file from the portable download with the above. Here's the virus scan.

No.

do you use IDA? can you suggest me a good x86 and x64 tutorial?

@CypherpunkSamurai You can probably try these:

Art of Assembly
Assembly Generic Wiki
Introduction to x64 Assembly
x86 and x64 Instruction Reference

There's many books as well. You could look around. I use IDA and Ghidra.

For the record, Sublime Merge can also be defeated the same way. Did the same on v2056.

License Validity Checking

For this, the only difference with Sublime Text is you need to return 281 instead of 0. I just did a simple mov rax, 281; ret.

    Windows x64 Pattern: `direct reference sig: E8 ? ? ? ? 3D ? ? ? ? 75 15`

Proof

@leogx9r I'm trying to do the patching with a hex editor, but can't understand why the first pattern in your walkthrough is E8 ? ? ? ? 49 8B BF ? ? ? ? 85 C0:

Make isLicenseValid return 0, pattern is a reference to call isLicenseValid. I personally just replaced the method with xor rax, rax; ret so 48 31 C0 C3.

    Linux/MacOS x64 Pattern: `direct reference sig: E8 ? ? ? ? 49 8B BF ? ? ? ? 85 C0`
    Windows x64 Pattern:     `direct reference sig: E8 ? ? ? ? 48 8B 8B ? ? ? ? 85 C0`

and in your ready-to-use script it is completely different - 554157415641554154534881EC68240000:

For Linux x64 on v4107, you can use this (replace /opt/sublime_text/sublime_text with the path to the binary):

# 554157415641554154534881EC68240000 -> 4831C0C390909090909090909090909090
sed -i 's/\x55\x41\x57\x41\x56\x41\x55\x41\x54\x53\x48\x81\xEC\x68\x24\x00\x00/\x48\x31\xC0\xC3\x90\x90\x90\x90\x90\x90\x90\x90\x90\x90\x90\x90\x90/g' /opt/sublime_text/sublime_text

@lepotic You'll need more than a hex editor to use those patterns efficiently -- you will need a disassembler like IDA or Ghidra, like I mentioned I used above.

E8 ? ? ? ? 49 8B BF ? ? ? ? 85 C0 like I mentioned, is a pattern that will give you another function that contains call isValidLicense. You'll need to jump to the function it references to find where you need to patch. Aka those 4 bytes after E8 contains a relative offset to isValidLicense. That's something you'll need a decompiler to find easily.

When you jump to that function, the start of it will show you 55 41 57 41 56 41 55 41 54 53 48 81 EC 68 24 00 00 which is not a pattern, it's the actual bytes that make up the function isValidLicense. That "pattern" as you called it, will only work on v4107 and nothing more or less and will only work on Linux x64, the Windows/MacOS versions will not contain that sequence. The pattern to find that referencing function however, should work on more than v4107 (and earlier versions too).

direct reference sig refers to the pattern not directly pointing to where you need to go, it points to a reference, eg. call targetFunction or jmp targetFunction etc.
direct reference sig (+0xABCD) is similar to the above but you need to add 0xABCD to wherever you find the address to reach your target reference.
raw sig refers to the pattern pointing to directly where you need to go.

For the record, Sublime Merge can also be defeated the same way. Did the same on v2056.

License Validity Checking

For this, the only difference with Sublime Text is you need to return 281 instead of 0. I just did a simple mov rax, 281; ret.

Proof

Can you please provide Linux commands for Sublime Merge(like in case of SublimeText)? I would really appreciate it.

@karrgozeyan You can try this, according to the method provided by @leogx9r

# for Linux
cd /opt/sublime_merge
printf '\x48\xC7\xC0\x19\x01\x00\x00\xC3' | dd of=sublime_merge bs=1 seek=$((0x003A0C9C)) count=8 conv=notrunc
 
printf '\x90\x90\x90\x90\x90' 			  | dd of=sublime_merge bs=1 seek=$((0x003A3761)) count=5 conv=notrunc
printf '\x90\x90\x90\x90\x90' 			  | dd of=sublime_merge bs=1 seek=$((0x003A377C)) count=5 conv=notrunc
 
printf '\x48\x31\xC0\x48\xFF\xC0\xC3' 	  | dd of=sublime_merge bs=1 seek=$((0x003A2096)) count=7 conv=notrunc

@maboloshi Thank you very much, that worked for me.

Does anyone experience ST lost all user settings after upgrading to v4107?

@naml3i I lost all my open notes, however, my user settings didn't reset

@brian6932 for me it's quite the contrary: all the opening notes are still there, intact, but the settings were lost (thankfully I have a copy of the file on github but still feel a bit confused with this update. Normally with all the previous update, it went smoothly).

I realize that right away because the font face was changed and the caret was replaced by a long, non-blinking one.

@naml3i I think they change where the data is stored. the sublime 3 store the settings at "%appdata%/Sublime Text 3/", but the sublime 4 store the settings at "%appdata%/Sublime Text/"

@duckimann not sure if that's the case of uninstalling ST3 and doing a fresh installation of ST4.
For me, ST4 still starts in %APPDATA%\Roaming\Sublime Text 3, settings are stored in
C:\Users\<user_name>\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 3\Packages\User\Preferences.sublime-settings

@naml3i weird. on my computer it creates a new directory which i mentioned and discard the old one.

how to do it on Linux? thx

Worked :)

Thanks @leogx9r :) I have my version on powershell here, tested on windows 10 x64, run as administrator (if sublime text/merge is installed)

This works for most of the Sublime Text 4.X x64 (Including 4107) - block the license check via host or patch it out of EXE

Hi. Do you know the correct replaces for x86 32bits version?

Thanks @leogx9r :) I have my version on powershell here, tested on windows 10 x64, run as administrator (if sublime text/merge is installed)

@thegrapevineprogramming can you try my script above? Run it as administrator, patch the sublime and input anything to the registration box

Does this work on Sublime Text 4 x86 32bit version? Because I've already managed it successfully on the x64 version. I just want x86 to use on another computer. Could you just pass me the code to find and replace on x86? Thank you.

Sublime v4 does not have x86 version on windows i believe... soooo that means you have the sublime v3 and you can use the license include in the script + using hosts to block the license check

You don't need to do the host patch, if you're replacing the license check in the exe (the 2nd search/replace)

I've also whipped up a quick python script for it, if anyone wants, you'll obviously need python installed..
save as whatever_name_you_want.py (and put it in same folder as sublime_text.exe) and run it, or run it from command line.,.. python .py

with open("sublime_text.exe", "rb") as binaryFile:
    byteData = bytearray(binaryFile.read()) 

# create backup
with open("sublime_text.exe.bak", "wb") as binaryFile:
    binaryFile.write(byteData)

# search for rsa key function
byteData = byteData.replace(b'\x41\x57\x41\x56\x56\x57\x55\x53\xB8\x28\x21\x00\x00', b'\x33\xC0\xFE\xC0\xC3\x57\x55\x53\xB8\x28\x21\x00\x00')
# search for license host check
byteData = byteData.replace(b'\x6C\x69\x63\x65\x6E\x73\x65\x2E\x73\x75\x62\x6C\x69\x6D\x65\x68\x71\x2E\x63\x6F\x6D', b'\x73\x75\x62\x6C\x69\x6D\x65\x68\x71\x2E\x6C\x6F\x63\x61\x6C\x68\x6F\x73\x74\x00\x00')

    binaryFile.write(byteData)
