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).

Alternatively if you dont want to use scripts, you can just download "prefs editor", open it, search for crossover, click on it, and change "first run date" to whenever you want it to and the trial will start on that day.

Beware that your bottles will have to be redownloaded, at least from my very basic knowledge

Well then how to save bottles then 😄

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

Still works 👀
Resets bottles and everything.

this works way better than other ones listed here, just one command for it all, not saying that the other ones here are bad, just because i'm not experienced and i think this is good for getting it done quickly

imo this one's still the best. Resets everything with one command + if you have games on a different drive or path it allows you to config it if you want

the command doesnt work for me, i can also edit the resetcrossover.sh to configure the path anyways

@MPT109 what specifically doesent work for you? For me it resets it permanently. As in, I need to run it once and never again (the free trial stays at 14 days)

the command just doesn't run

This is working :) thank you guys! Just a quick question regarding the firewall, do you guys always have the firewall enabled all the time while using CrossOver?

I do. I had no problems while it was off tho

Did not work for me, running the script in terminal, it still counts down on the trial period days. Can anyone elaborate on how to do it correctly? what I did was put copy paste the link/line from the main post and put it into terminal, hit enter. Also tried this "Script here — resets trial, bottle reset included (experimental)." but it still counts down on the trial period. Im 100% doing something wrong

try to download and run it locally: curl -fsSL "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xVc323/crossover-trial/main/reset_crossover_fully.sh" -o reset_crossover_fully.sh
chmod +x reset_crossover_fully.sh
./reset_crossover_fully.sh
after that, just run this command to reset: ./reset_crossover_fully.sh
