How To Get Sublime Text For Free – Info Mac

While you can continue evaluating the free trial indefinitely, the pop-ups become annoying very quickly. If you don’t want to shell out $80 dollars for a basically deprecated project (considering there are superior, open-source alternatives such as vim, emacs, and vscode), here is a simple way to get a Sublime Text license for free.

1) Turn off the wifi

2) Open up a terminal window (Press Cmd+space, type “terminal,” press enter) and type the following: sudo vim /etc/hosts

You will be prompted for your password. Type it in; note that the cursor will not appear on the screen, this is perfectly normal. Hit enter.

3) Go to the bottom of the file holding the “j” key, then press “I” to edit the file. Paste the following:

127.0.0.1 www.sublimetext.com

127.0.0.1 license.sublimehq.com

4) Press “ESC” to stop editing. Type “:wq” – this will save and exit the file.

5) Next, open up Sublime Text, press Help on the menu bar, and click Enter License. Paste in the contents of this link: https://pastebin.com/mNuYTX8P

6) Turn on the wifi and enjoy
