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.

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?
