How to Run:

  1. Save the code in a Python script (e.g., patcher.py).

  2. Open the terminal/command prompt and run the script like so:

    python patcher.py "path_to_sublime_text.exe"

    Replace "path_to_sublime_text.exe" with the actual path to the sublime_text.exe file.

  3. The patched version will be saved in the same directory as the original file (or you can specify a custom output path).

Note:

Please be aware that even after applying the patch, the status may still display as (UNREGISTERED). This is normal, and you can safely disregard this message because the app is already activited.

Hey, I modified the patcher to replace the original exe by default instead of creating a separate patched file. This way existing shortcuts still work without needing to update them.

Changes:

  • When no output file is specified, it now backs up the original as *_backup.exe and writes the patch to the original filename
  • Added backup protection so it won't overwrite existing backups
  • Old behavior still works if you specify an output file
