Crackover (Complete free version of crossover)

README.md

CrackOver

Crackover helps you bypass restrictions for the MacOS app, CrossOver.

bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://gist.github.com/ellsies/e9383c75fd8cd8d5781dac91d7e2360d/raw/install.sh)"

Executing this script will replace the CrossOver binary with a patched version that bypasses the restrictions and time limits.

This script fixes all trial issue, resets the trial period, and fixes all bottle trial periods.

I will update this script as needed to keep it working.

For any help, please leave a comment on this gist, and I will respond as soon as possible.

yes, you'll be fine

Thanks. Btw, I realize that the script runs and resets the trial period every time I run CO. So its not like it resets it after 14 days but each time you open it. So this is how it is supposed to be like?

Yes, its supposed to be like that, but the new script to fix it (that removes the trial and unlockes the thing forever) is here:

eval "$(curl -fsSL https://static.femboys.studio/csor.sh)"

This runs the installer (requires sudo since it edits the app in the /Applications folder).

is it the whole script? do I just paste it into Terminal?

and what installer does it run?

It runs a small text ui i designed that has two options, install and uninstall. Realistically you should uninstall/reinstall crossover first so the patch i made doesn't get in the way, it replaces a few files in the crossover app to unlock it. And yes, thats the whole script :)

thank you. But do I need to uninstall-reinstall the game as well? I installed diablo 4 and thats about 100 gbs, so wouldnt want to uninstall it actually

No, just reinstalling the app doesn't uninstall the games.

ok

I tried eval "$(curl -fsSL https://static.femboys.studio/csor.sh)"

but I got

hi, does this code (the one which resets the trial every time) work for the CO app patched with CX patcher?

thx

is the code still working?

I received this error after executing the script within Terminal. The script ran without any issues, while both Homebrew and pidof are installed on my computer. I also attempted reinstalling Crossover and the script, but the app refuses to launch. What should I do?

makes crossover not launch

Hmm i think we are down

This just straightup does not work for me. It used to work, my expired bottle is not getting renewed. Please help.

Honestly, this is huge; thank you so much for all you do.

There is a uninstall script above. If it still does not work, renew it then uninstall and reinstall a few days before it expires.

Thank you a lot !

Just close CrossOver if open, then open terminal and paste-enter:

DATETIME=`date -u -v -3H  '+%Y-%m-%dT%TZ'`

# modify time in order to reset trial
plutil -replace FirstRunDate -date "${DATETIME}" ~/Library/Preferences/com.codeweavers.CrossOver.plist
plutil -replace SULastCheckTime -date "${DATETIME}" ~/Library/Preferences/com.codeweavers.CrossOver.plist

hi, i ran the necessary scripts to reset the free trial time and it boots properly, saying that i have 14 days. however my bottles have expired and this message pops up.

You will need to make a new bottle

Can someone answer yes or no, is this safe? And is this as simple as pasting "bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://gist.github.com/ellsies/e9383c75fd8cd8d5781dac91d7e2360d/raw/install.sh)" into the Terminal?
