Sublime Text DIY

FOR WINDOWS
(This works both in Sublime Text 2 and the beta Sublime Text 3 last I checked.)

open ST main exe in a HEX editor.
(here's an excellent one: HxD http://mh-nexus.de/en/downloads.php?product=HxD)
Remember to make a backup of the exe.
Now search for HEX string 33 42 30 02
if not found, then
search for HEX string 33 42 30 32
(if not found either, then look at the end of this paste.)

change 33 to 32.

or any other license for Sublime Text you can find.

FOR LINUXes
the method is same. just open sublime_text in your favorite HEX editor and search for 33 42 30 02 or 33 42 30 02


NOT FOUND?
search for TEXT string "http://www.sublimetext.com/buy......Hello! Thanks"
and alter the HEX string 33 42 that is found just before this text segment.

OR just search for the HEX string 33 42.
for the first found instance, change 33 to 32 (so that the string becomes 32 42) and save. DO NOT CLOSE HEX EDITOR.
execute this saved st2 and enter license. if it's not accepted, close ST2.
undo the last change in Hex Editor and find the next instance of 33 42.
Change it in the same way and save and run st2 and enter license and if it's not accepted close and undo the change and find next instance .... go on until for one change of 33 to 32, the license is accepted.

I really love ST2, and if I had the money and a method to buy it I would, but living in a poor (read: globally invisible) country, that's not really as easy as it may be to someone living in the US of A. So there's no way but this way to get by.
