@maboloshi It looks like you changed the patch for Disable License Notify Thread from ret to ret 0, but only for MacOS. What happened on MacOS ?

@Destitute-Streetdwelling-Guttersnipe I saw the cracked binary file provided by @leogx9r and I changed it. Probably other platforms are also applicable.

@maboloshi I think it still works the same as before.
When @leogx9r add the patch for Disable License Notify Thread, leogx9r said Simply return 0 here to disable.

If you looked carefully, you'd see I added two additional things, disabling the crash reporter (which sends telemetry back to the server, not something I personally like) and also disabled the "phoning home" method when a new license is entered. The phoning home method can potentially be used to detect you cracking the application (as it'll send invalid info, also containing your unique identifier) and you may get your IP blacklisted, hence I've decided to disable it entirely, I also recommend you guys do too, just in case. If you'd like the patterns for that:

# Sends the HWID, license Information the moment a license is entered to the server for logging.
# Most likely used to detect when a license key is shared across too many systems with differing HWIDs.
# Simply return 0 here to disable.
Sublime Text

I asked leogx9r about return values, and the answer is that any value is acceptable, the return value isn't actually used (except the function for license checking)

@Destitute-Streetdwelling-Guttersnipe It does have the same effect. The function returns the value of pthread_join() or something similar. I didn't see Sublime Text/Merge use the return value but decided to have it return the proper value anyways for consistency (which upon research seems it required zero so I guess I documented that wrong).

The only function you really need to have a return value is for the license checking function, which requires zero always. The rest are basically optional. The return value isn't actually used (based on my reverse engineering) on the other functions.

Edit: On Windows it returns the value of CreateThread() which requires a non-zero value to indicate success. I originally patched this on Windows so I used the same method for Linux/MacOS -- they instead use pthread which requires a zero value to indicate success, so I guess that's where I got mixed up. So you should ideally return 1 on Windows (or any non-zero value) and 0 on Linux but it doesn't matter really since the value is never used.

Thus, leogx9r uses ret 0 all the time, while you use ret all the time. And it still works fine.

@Destitute-Streetdwelling-Guttersnipe Thank you for your answer, next update I will unify for ret

@leogx9r The invalidationFunction rule of ST-4121(linux) has changed, please help to check it.:blush:

Persistent License Check 1       | 0x0036BC85 | E8 0C BC 11 00       | 90 90 90 90 90

@legox9r: Trying on ST 4120 MacOS ARM with these patterns:

0x93242 E0 03 1F AA C0 03 5F D6
0x84C6 1F 20 03 D5
0x84E5 1F 20 03 D5
0x937DB C0 03 5F D6
0x92090 C0 03 5F D6
0x2637 C0 03 5F D6

Not quite sure what I'm doing wrong here since it keep saying the file is damaged. From your post, it's my understanding that 4120 for MacOS M1 can be patched in the exact same way as previous versions...

@bms8197 Why use X64 offsetes and ARM64 patch code?

sublime text 4121 Linux md5sum is wrong, but the patch is work well

@maboloshi Apologies for the delay, was quite busy these past few days. Your offsets align with mine so all seems good. 👍

For the record in case people need them, here's the new patterns for Windows/Linux (x64) for the invalidation/validation functions that work on v4121:

    Linux x64 Pattern 1: `direct reference sig: (+0x5) BA ? ? ? ? E8 ? ? ? ? 49 8B B7 ? ? ? ?`
              Pattern 2: `raw sig: E8 ? ? ? ? BF ? ? ? ? E8 ? ? ? ? 83 25 ? ? ? ? ?`

    Windows x64 Pattern 1: `direct reference sig: (+0x6) 41 B8 ? ? ? ? E8 ? ? ? ? 49 8B 96 ? ? ? ?`
                Pattern 2: `raw sig: E8 ? ? ? ? E8 ? ? ? ? 4C 89 F1 E8 ? ? ? ?`

MacOS (x64) patterns remain the same.

---

@bms8197 Sorry, when I said "remains the same", I was referring to x64. I don't have my patcher wired up to work on MacOS so I've no idea if the same method would work. I'll see if I can get some free time to do MacOS ARM64 this weekend since it does take much more time to do it manually than automate it as I've done with x64, no promises though -- I'll have to see if I can fit in about 30 minutes.

@bms8197 You can try it:(for 4121)

Does the crack for sublime merge 2063 work?

@cybranker Updated

@maboloshi I do confirm that the patch works for MacOS M1 ARM64 for ST 4121. My bad, I was trying with 4120. You need to sign the app after patching in order to work:
codesign --force --deep --sign - ~/Downloads/Sublime\ Text.app

Thank you!

@bms8197 Can you help to try the ARM64 patch for SM2063. 😊

@maboloshi Applied, it's working. SM 2063 is patched!

@maboloshi Just one quick note for SM2063:

bogdan@iMac ~/D/S/C/MacOS> md5 sublime_merge 
MD5 (sublime_merge) = d578f6d65f9470f84e1d6724277e6820

I believe it will just exit. If you remove the md5 line and apply the patch, it's working just fine.

Hy guys, you can use my file for Sublime Text 4 Build 4121, just download and replace to your Sublime Text folder.

@leogx9r 2 patterns (blacklist check and license recheck) for ST in Windows are the same for the previous stable version. I use regex, so my pattern that works with all ST versions:

For example: reghex="(?<= 41 B8 . . . . ) E8 . . . . (48|49) . .", fix=nop5 can be used to patch the invalidate1 call for both dev and stable versions of ST (48 for dev, 49 for stable), the offset to E8 is described by the lookahead (?<= 41 B8 . . . . ).
Another example: reghex="(?<= E8 ) . . . .", patch=ret0, is_ref=True can be used to patch the license_check call without the need to analyze the instruction length of Call (E8).

UPDATE: I edited to specify 2 patterns (blacklist check and license recheck), not all patterns

@Destitute-Streetdwelling-Guttersnipe Yea, I'm just a bit too lazy to rewrite my script to use regex instead 🤣

Sublime Text v4122 Crack

Patterns for validation/invalidation functions (Windows & Linux) have reverted so you can use the old ones (preferably using regex as @Destitute-Streetdwelling-Guttersnipe pointed out). Here's the offsets:

Windows (x64 Only)

Linux (x64 Only)

MacOS (x64 Only)

Proof

Thanks, @leogx9r . You're so fast. I guess maboloshi is either sleepy or busy.

And I saw you mentioned 5 patterns for checking license and you commented on 3 of them. How about the 3rd and 4th patterns? Are they used to check on start-up?

Patterns have changed again for isValidLicense. Here's 5 different patterns you can use in case one stops working:

`direct reference sig: (+0x3) 45 31 C9 E8 ? ? ? ? 85 C0 75 15 `         // These two invalidation/validation function references
`direct reference sig: (+0x3) 45 31 C9 E8 ? ? ? ? 85 C0 75 0D`          // Same as above.
`direct reference sig: (+0x4) 48 8D 4D 40 E8 ? ? ? ? 48 8B 4E 10`
`direct reference sig: (+0x3) 48 89 F9 E8 ? ? ? ? 48 8B 4E 10 85 C0`
`direct reference sig: (+0x4) 4C 8D 4D 54 E8 ? ? ? ?`                   // Performed on license entering to check validity.

@Destitute-Streetdwelling-Guttersnipe The other two calls are done when the program starts where it checks the saved license file and validates it. Haven't fully reverse-engineered exactly what's being done though but they are done as part of async callbacks.

Thanks, @leogx9r . Looking around these 5 patterns, I discovered that function unregister (called by blacklist check and license recheck) is very short: only 1 instruction. I think it's too simple to change in future versions. Here's my patch:

Fix(name="unregister", reghex="C6 41 05 00  C3", patch=ret) # for windows
Fix(name="unregister", reghex="C6 47 05 00  C3", patch=ret) # for linux
Fix(name="unregister", reghex="55  48 89 E5  C6 47 05 00  5D  C3", patch=ret) # for mac
Fix(name="license_server", reghex="license\.sublimehq\.com", patch=b"license.localhost.\x00\x00\x00".hex(' ')) # block server checks

This is not as simple as the famous patch 97 94 0D, but allow any valid license to be used.

UPDATED: Sorry, this patch is USELESS. You need a valid license, not just any expired/blacklisted/invalid license. But when you have a valid license, you don't need this patch anymore.

Hi, @Destitute-Streetdwelling-Guttersnipe

Do u know any simple patch like the 97 94 0D but for Sublime Merge?

Thanks in advance.
