###Sketch trial non stop

Open hosts files:

$ open /private/etc/hosts

Edit the file adding:

127.0.0.1 backend.bohemiancoding.com
127.0.0.1 bohemiancoding.sketch.analytics.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com

Open .licence file

In English:

 /Users/YOUR-USER-HERE/Library/Application\ Support/com.bohemiancoding.sketch3/.license

In Spanish:

 /Users/YOUR-USER-HERE/Libraría/Application\ Support/com.bohemiancoding.sketch3/.license

##NOTE: .licence is a hidden file

Show all hidden files with:

$ defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles YES

And edit three values: sign to ==, type to licence, and expiration to 999999999

 "sign":"=="
 "type”:”licence”
 "expiration”:”999999999”

I followed the instructions step by step and it worked for me. The only issue I had is that the folder "Library" is invisible where the .licence file stays. To see it just open folder /Users/YOUR-USER-HERE/ and then use the shortcut CMD + SHIFT + .
Then you will see the Library folder and can go on.

I even did the same, I am on Mac Mojave and ver 55 of Sketch. And it is not working. Any help would be highly appreciated.

FYI try figma.com as an alternative to sketch which loads sketch files and is free and mirrors their GUI. No affiliation

Okay so follow these steps and I promise it's gonna work (I have literally taken 3 hours to make this work):

1. Turn off wifi

2. Open your hosts file and add those exact lines:

127.0.0.1 backend.bohemiancoding.com
127.0.0.1 bohemiancoding.sketch.analytics.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com
::1 backend.bohemiancoding.com
::1 bohemiancoding.sketch.analytics.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com
We have to use both ipv4 and ipv6 to make it work

3. Go to your license file and copy past this (and replace the old file with this one):

{"meta":{"sign":"jacFQqdBByhC0Esd1yo5jDuQYiBSTqYgtYEHxENOa7GnyhOBri6dYYsSqMiSm7HUDQfSmbcMat7Ju1VJxm50VY2r0+EjWdpjt3qp+eU/uNecmFYPfD8tzZom88MWMybi2wN7lP/1BOuzqueEw/5I0RkEWFchoZyvuRxVq/4f8XWn8rMaw1QVeFpCZ5ge1w9X6XyGwEIEscLBJs5nOv9jQE0NU9SZHlJUZb3wELs454SsQyDisFI/TKFIm0PpZ58aaVVoN4+iZht2Gq4EL/AVL0rzb0sr7+AQZu7itOZFVJFssbtSsurmqLk+320+KVvyfS9vThKhpcpjkj0bPiU4tA==","reg_version":"55.1","current_version":"55.1","purchase":"1562196970","generated_at":"Wed, 24 Jul 2019 21:42:42 +0000"},"payload":{"status":"ok","allowedVariants":"NONAPPSTORE;BETA","udid":"","update_expiration":1577836800,"email":"TNT edition","application":"sketch3","type":"static","expiration":1577836800}}

**4. Right click on the new license file and select get info and tick locked **

5. You can now open Sketch once without the Wifi on, quit, and go back to it a second time with the Wifi on

Does it work for everyone ?

It worked for me, version 59.1
