Bypass Trial Navicat Premium 16 and 15 on Mac

Sometimes macbook users feel disappointed because almost all the applications in the AppStore are paid or subscribed so they can use the desired application. Like my experience where I had to subscribe to the Navicat application by paying more than 1 million per month so I could use the tool I really needed. After several methods that I did, I finally found a way to bypass the Navicat trial where previously I had used the trial version but had reached the trial time that had been determined for 2 weeks. Here are the steps you have to take to bypass the Navicat trial version.

• Download navicat veri 16.x.x or 15.x.x from an unofficial source ( do not download navicat from appstore )
• Install the application as usual
• Copy and paste the following script then save it with the file name navicat.sh.

#!/bin/bash
set -e
file=$(defaults read /Applications/Navicat\ Premium.app/Contents/Info.plist)
regex="CFBundleShortVersionString = \"([^\.]+)"
[[ $file =~ $regex ]]
version=${BASH_REMATCH[1]}
echo "Detected Navicat Premium version $version"
case $version in
    "16")
        file=~/Library/Preferences/com.navicat.NavicatPremium.plist
        ;;
    "15")
        file=~/Library/Preferences/com.prect.NavicatPremium15.plist
        ;;
    *)
        echo "Version '$version' not handled"
        exit 1
       ;;
esac
echo -n "Reseting trial time..."
regex="([0-9A-Z]{32}) = "
[[ $(defaults read $file) =~ $regex ]]
hash=${BASH_REMATCH[1]}
if [ ! -z $hash ]; then
    defaults delete $file $hash
fi
regex="\.([0-9A-Z]{32})"
[[ $(ls -a ~/Library/Application\ Support/PremiumSoft\ CyberTech/Navicat\ CC/Navicat\ Premium/ | grep '^\.') =~ $regex ]]
hash2=${BASH_REMATCH[1]}
if [ ! -z $hash2 ]; then
    rm ~/Library/Application\ Support/PremiumSoft\ CyberTech/Navicat\ CC/Navicat\ Premium/.$hash2
fi
echo " Done"

• Then open a terminal in the saved navicat.sh folder and run the command : `sh navicat.sh`
• Then open the navicat application and click trial.
