    else:
        patch_exe(sys.argv[1], sys.argv[2] if len(sys.argv) > 2 else None)

How to Run:

  1. Save the code in a Python script (e.g., patcher.py).

  2. Open the terminal/command prompt and run the script like so:

    python patcher.py "path_to_sublime_text.exe"

    Replace "path_to_sublime_text.exe" with the actual path to the sublime_text.exe file.

  3. The patched version will be saved in the same directory as the original file (or you can specify a custom output path).

Note:

Please be aware that even after applying the patch, the status may still display as (UNREGISTERED). This is normal, and you can safely disregard this message because the app is already activited.

0F B6 51 05 83 F2 01 -> C6 41 05 01 B2 00 90

Thanks for sharing your patch ♥

Not everyone understands hex editing. Instead of manually replacing 0F B6 51 05 83 F2 01 with C6 41 05 01 B2 00 90, you can simply create a Python file (for example, patcher.py) and run it in the same folder as the binary file.

It is recommended to copy the binary file to an external folder, patch it there, and then copy or move it back to the installed program’s folder, agreeing to replace the original file.

Or just run in the terminal:
python -c "import shutil; fn='sublime_text.exe'; off=0x46B80; old=bytes.fromhex('0F B6 51 05 83 F2 01'); new=bytes.fromhex('C6 41 05 01 B2 00 90'); shutil.copy2(fn, fn+'.old'); f=open(fn,'r+b'); f.seek(off); d=f.read(len(old)); (d==old) and (f.seek(off),f.write(new),print('[+] Patch applied')) or print('[!] Bytes differ, not patched'); f.close()"

Awesome! So easy and quick!!
