unlimited CrossOver trial (MacOS)

README.md

Run it in console for permanent install :

bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://gist.github.com/santaklouse/a137ee51692b74d4cf2cc1bb68ed64ef/raw/install.sh?token=$(date +%s))"

After install script will fix crossover as well as expired bottles (Thanks to @djsmax).

Script here — resets trial, bottle reset included (experimental).

@xVc323 I was snooping with wireshark for a while and crossover still doesn't validate trials with their servers. IMO it's overkill and doesen't treat the actual issues causing things to fail, trying to treat the symptoms instead with a wide spray, but as long as it helps someone I'm glad.
The actual reason why it stopped working I wrote about in an earlier comment here

how does it work when i paste it into terminal but it doesn't work nothing happens

@Nygosaki You’re absolutely right. I set up a testing environment and didn’t find any obvious network traffic to CodeWeavers that looked related to trial validation. That said, I’m no expert in network analysis so I can’t be 100% certain. The traffic I did see seemed to be tied to things like TIE files and software downloads. I'll simplify my script accordingly.

If anyone needs it, I'll drop the Python script I made in like 5 minutes that I've been using for little over a month.
All this does is set the FirstRunDate to the current time. This doesn't fix effected bottles.

import plistlib
import os
from datetime import datetime

# set os path
userPath = os.path.expanduser('~')

# open plist
with open(f'{userPath}/Library/Preferences/com.codeweavers.CrossOver.plist', 'rb') as f:
    pl = plistlib.load(f)


# set first run date to correct time
pl['FirstRunDate'] = datetime.utcnow()

# save plist
with open(f'{userPath}/Library/Preferences/com.codeweavers.CrossOver.plist', 'wb') as f:
    plistlib.dump(pl, f)

works for me, very thx

Where exactly would I use this code? I’m kinda dumb around software stuff
