MAMP PRO 4 Trial Reset

A simple script that resets latest MAMP PRO 4 trial validity, and keeps your data safe.

How to use

  • Copy the code into a file OR download the script and save it as reset_mamp4.sh
  • Open the Terminal app and write chmod +x then drag and drop the file on the Terminal. You should have something like chmod +x reset_mamp4.sh. Press Enter to run it.
  • Now, run the file itself by dragging and dropping it on the Terminal (something like reset_mamp4.sh) then pressing Enter.
  • Open MAMP PRO and check if you have 14 days left now.

Didn't work?

Try using superpowers and run it as root sudo reset_mamp4.sh.

Did it work?

Let me know, or improve it by yourself.

What i do and it's working for 4.4.1 :
Uninstall mamppro
Type this command : sudo find / | grep mamppro
Then sudo rm -rf all folders appeared on the result of the last command
Finally reinstall mamppro.
It should work

Change line 5 to:

rm ~/Library/Preferences/de.living-e_to_appsolute.mampro.plist

and it'll work. Also, if you're using MAMP regularly, buy a license.

Just reset demo for 6.8 - there was a lot of files. run "sudo find / | grep mamp" and delete all the files/folders that match. some of them were quite hidden. re-install mamp
