Save TehBrian/bf82c7505b647d423da6d5abbe2b95a3 to your computer and use it in GitHub Desktop.
| mv -v ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.FinalCutTrial/Data/Library/Application\ Support/.ffuserdata ~/.Trash |
Just run the command above in Terminal, and that should renew the trial.
Another way that may be useful:
- Open Finder and open > libraries > application support
- Then open terminal and type:
1 defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles true
2 killall Finder - Then go back to Finder and find .ffuserdata file and delete it. Now the trial should be reseted to 90 days.
To show hidden files (which is what the defaults command does), you can also just press Cmd+Shift+. in any Finder window.
bro but now it is not working maybe software update is the reason
it works for me
sequoia 15.2 still works...
apple hasn't realised that people are stealing their program for few years
there are so many tutorials on it
not worked this "mv -v ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.FinalCutTrial/Data/Library/Application\ Support/.ffuserdata ~/.Trash
", i updated it.
defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles true && killall Finder && rm /Users/$(whoami)/Library/Application\ Support/.ffuserdata 2>/dev/null && echo ".ffuserdata deleted" || echo ".ffuserdata not found"
seems like it’s already deleted, try opening final cut pro and then trying again
Maybe try manually deleting too
It's still working mac os sequoia 15.1.1 fc 11.0
Please someone help!!! This has worked for me for almost a year. Then I couldn't cancel the file on time and I lost the trial I had. Once I downloaded Final Cut Pro again and tried to delete the counting days file, it didn't work.
There must be another file, maybe with another name that is counting the days of the trial?? I have Sonoma 14.7.2 and have had it since I have my Mac. So it's not a problem of operating system, I think, but it's Adobe.
Please, can someone help?? I use this method: https://www.highapproach.com/final-cut-pro-free/
The file is deleted but the days on FCP did not reset. I only have 6 days left and I won't be able to download a trial version again until they issue a new updated version..... :( I really don't have 350 eur or I would have just bought it for peace of mind.

Did you try running the updated command in this gist?
With the help of Chat GPT, we solved the problem!! Now it's back to 90 days. Before finding the updated command, I had deleted the usual file without any success. Chat GPT helped in finding the deleted file (I don't know why but many deleted files don't show up in my Trash), I put it back where it was and run the updated command. It didn't work at first, but run the command 3 times and at the 3rd time it worked!
Thank you so much for answering!!!!! Super appreciated!!
No problem, I'm glad you got it working!
The method shown on the link you sent seems correct, i have no clue why wasn’t it working
It always worked with the previous version of FCP...not sure if that's why....
I said Adobe, in my first post but I meant FCP.
hey there! can you help me set this on my Macbook, please? my 90 days trial ended and I do not have access to my files!
