Changing SmartGit Free Trial License to Non-Commercial

Some developers might overlook the license selection when using the SmartGit. Instead of choose non-commercial, they by default clicked Next on the “30 days Free Trial”. Worse thing is reinstall the SmartGit won’t get you to change the license.

To alter the license. First, go to

Windows: %APPDATA%\syntevo\SmartGit\<main-smartgit-version>
OS X: ~/Library/Preferences/SmartGit/<main-smartgit-version>
Unix/Linux: ~/.smartgit/<main-smartgit-version>

and remove the file settings.xml.

Then start SmartGit program again. This time you will be ask about all the Settings information, which including the license!

not working on v23.1

You can also apply for a none commercial license:

Or pay 6 USD a month for the commercial

Works fine on v20.2.6. alxpsr Thanks!

I adapted the script for macOS:

#!/usr/bin/env zsh
config="/Users/$USER/Library/Preferences/SmartGit/20.2/preferences.yml"
# current date in msec + 25 days
NEW_DATE=$(date -j -v +25d +%s000)
# sed is for change old date for new one in config
sed -r -i '' "s/(listx: \{eUT: )[0-9]+/\1$NEW_DATE/g" $config
sed -r -i '' "s/(, nRT: )[0-9]+/\1$NEW_DATE/g" $config

Works fine on v20.2.6. alxpsr Thanks!

sed -r -i '' "s/(, nRT: )[0-9]+/\1$NEW_DATE/g" $config

Please tell me where the file smartgit.sh is located in MacOS

It's here: /Applications/SmartGit.app/Contents/Resources/smartssh.sh, but this script not run when you run app from LaunchPad or Application folder. Better rename SmartGit executable file to SmartGit_ in /Applications/SmartGit.app/Contents/MacOS/
And then create new text file near the SmartGit_ with this content and name it as SmartGit:

#!/usr/bin/env zsh
config="/Users/$USER/Library/Preferences/SmartGit/20.2/preferences.yml"
# current date in msec + 25 days
NEW_DATE=$(date -j -v +25d +%s000)
# sed is for change old date for new one in config
sed -r -i '' "s/(listx: \{eUT: )[0-9]+/\1$NEW_DATE/g" $config
sed -r -i '' "s/(, nRT: )[0-9]+/\1$NEW_DATE/g" $config
/Applications/SmartGit.app/Contents/MacOS/SmartGit_

@andfrolov7 Thanks a lot!

P.S. I found a solution to add a script as a new application in the Applications folder.

After previous actions:

1. Make the .sh file executable: chmod +x /Applications/SmartGit.app/Contents/MacOS/SmartGit
2. Create an Application using Automator:

• Open Automator. You can find it via Spotlight (press Cmd + Space, then type "Automator").
• Choose to create a new document and select "Application".
• In the left pane, under "Utilities", find "Run Shell Script" and drag it to the right pane.
• Replace the text in the script box with the /Applications/SmartGit.app/Contents/MacOS/SmartGit
• Save the Automator application (File > Save), name it (for example, SmartGift), and choose Where: "Applications"

3. Optionally, you can change the Application Icon:

• Find an image to use as the new icon (for example, from SmartGit: /Applications/SmartGit.app/Contents/Resources/icon.icns)
• Open the image in Finder.
• Right-click on your newly created application on the Applications folder and select "Get Info".
• Drag and drop the new icon to the small icon at the top left corner of the Info window.
