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

RSA Key Patch (allows any key in right format to work)

Search for ...
4157415656575553B828210000
Replace with ...
33C0FEC0C3575553B828210000

Disable License Check (You can do this via hosts file if you rather)

Search for...
6C6963656E73652E7375626C696D6568712E636F6D
Replace with ...
7375626C696D6568712E6C6F63616C686F73740000

You can now use any license basically that follows the same syntax/format/key.

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')

Using Sublime Text X86 Portable on a Flash drive is good for portability to work on different computers wherever I am. I can always take my projects and then it works on both x86 and x64.

Awesome! However for Sublime Merge I found only the string to patch the RSA, what is the string to patch the host (I don't want to clutter the host file)?

Edit: Ah ok, my bad, I miscopied a little bit 😅 Thank you
Side note, for SM, after patching RSA and the host, you'll need Sublime Merge key to enter (a Sublime Text key won't work).
For example:
(basically you can replace SODiUm by anything)

@duckimann Good effort! You should probably try to make it a bit more portable though since powershell is a pain to run on any other OS than Windows.

Here's my variant of an automatic update patcher I threw together after a couple hours in Python (with no crap pip-based dependencies!) so you can run this from any OS you want. Works for Windows, MacOS and Linux binaries as long as you have the patterns. Pretty fast given it's written in Python too and naturally it doesn't rely on fixed offsets/static patterns like 99% of the stuff I've seen here.

@leogx9r Yeah i'll try next time ;) i usually write web stuff and some batch but this time i decided to write in something different so we have that PS file. but thanks :D you encouraged me to try something new :D

P/s: i couldn't find any solution about replacing bytes patterns with PS so the only way i can choose is fix address :(

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')

with open("sublime_text.exe", "wb") as binaryFile:
    binaryFile.write(byteData)

This works perfectly fine on Sublime Text4 build 4107, thank you!
