Build 4126 - Keep having to reenter license key

[pantsshirts]

Hello community. Anyone else run into the issue where sublime keeps forgetting your license key since updating to 4126? Has happened to me fairly regularly.

Running MacOS 12.1

The license key is encrypted using your mac address in order to avoid accidental leaks. If you’ve randomizing said address you can use a portable license key as a workaround: https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/portable_license_keys.html

Interesting. Thanks for the tip. I’ll try out a portable license key.

Wonder if some new Monterey feature is randomizing my MAC address where it wasn’t before.

I’m seeing the same thing. Every time I reboot my M1 MacBook Pro running macOS 12.1, the next launch of Sublime Merge acts unlicensed and I have to reenter the key.

I used the “portable license key” workaround and its working so far.
