Currently, there are no patches available for Apple Sillicon.😢

@Destitute-Streetdwelling-Guttersnipe

@bms8197 you can hide the nag to registration by patching 14 to 94 at offset 0x0105DB9D. It's almost the same as having a license.

@bms8197 for ST4148 you can hide the nag by patching at 0x01065B8D. Change 1 bit from 14 to 94, and you won't see it for 3 days.

Here is my new updated patch for win64 and linux64 to the latest ST 4148 and SM 2083: slp_2023_03_18.rar

Is there Sublime Merge 2083 crack for Mac soon?

@monglung

@hellzerg Just run in Admin mode. If your sublime text and/or sublime merge is in the default location, it will detect... else you have to specify the location.... then click patch...

@rjbprime

@monglung I am able to patch ST4143 with your app, but something bugs out with SM2083. When entering a licence, it refuses to proceed when you cleck the "Use Licence" button, such that that particular button seems like it is disabled.

@monglung
Copy link

@rjbprime Yes, the patch not working for SM2083.... You cannot enter a License... I also test on the new SM2085... same thing happens...

Hope someone else can figure out and have a new method to patch... In the mean time, I guess we have to use the older one then...

@n6333373 it looks like the pattern matches more than once in SM2085. You shouldn't replace all of them. You have a false positive here.

@elguaxo For now, just read the the output from the post above you, and adjust the current hashes and hex offsets to the ones there, works for my personal scripts.
Windows pwsh:

if ((Get-FileHash sublime_text.exe -Algorithm MD5).Hash -ne '7941C7308CBDE51747D709E68E6D7522') { exit }
'crash_reporter.exe', 'update_installer.exe' | ForEach-Object { if (Test-Path $_) { Remove-Item $_ } }
'000A8F58: 48 31 C0 C3'          | xxd -r - sublime_text.exe
'000071D0: 90 90 90 90 90'       | xxd -r - sublime_text.exe
'000071E9: 90 90 90 90 90'       | xxd -r - sublime_text.exe
'000AAD54: 48 31 C0 48 FF C0 C3' | xxd -r - sublime_text.exe
