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.

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.

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

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?
