    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.

How to break the function (use the same way to change hex of licence key number) which Sublime uses to connect to server to check licence keys? Every c.ra.ck will be useless if Sublime checks key remotely. Some methods prevent Sublime's connection as: edit hosts file, firewall,... make complex.

It has worked to bypass their license verification for a long time now.
Personally need it for Linux though as their hex points are different than on windows. And I can't seem to find the similar.
