This is a bash script designed to reset the trial period of CrossOver (a popular application for running Windows software on macOS). The script manipulates specific system files and resets timestamps to make CrossOver think it's a fresh installation, effectively extending your trial period.

• Crossover Trial: (obviously)

Download the reset-crossover.sh script to your local machine.

You can do this by cloning or downloading the repository, or by manually copying the script from here.

After downloading the script, open Terminal and navigate to the folder where the script is located. Run the following command to make the script executable:

chmod +x reset-crossover.sh

Once the script is executable, simply run it by typing the following command in your Terminal:

./reset-crossover.sh

The script will automatically:

• Kill any open CrossOver processes.
• Reset the trial period by modifying the necessary preference files.
• Clean up any old update timestamps.
• Restart CrossOver and show a notification to let you know the process is complete.

You should see a success notification when the script finishes running.

The script works by performing the following actions:

1. Checks if CrossOver is running: The script checks if CrossOver is currently running. If it is, it kills the process to ensure the changes are applied properly.
2. Modifies the system preferences: The script updates specific settings in CrossOver's preference files (com.codeweavers.CrossOver.plist) to reset the trial date and the last check time.
3. Updates the system registry: It clears relevant registry entries within the CrossOver "bottles" to remove any traces of previous runs that could interfere with the trial reset.
4. Shows a notification: Once the reset is complete, a notification will appear informing you that the trial has been reset and bottles have been cleaned.

• Backup your data before running the script. This script will modify system files related to CrossOver.
• Use at your own risk. While the script is tested on macOS, we recommend reviewing the script and performing a test run on a non-production machine if you're unsure.
