Free license

#1

Hi,

I downloaded Sublime Text 3 for Ubuntu Mate 17.04.

When I run the program, it asks for a license, and I have no way to use the program without a license.

Your download page states:
“Sublime Text may be downloaded and evaluated for free, however a license must be purchased for continued use. There is currently no enforced time limit for the evaluation.”

So, how can i try it?

Thank you.

Cannot evaluate under linux?

The “free” version is downloaded from this page:

  1. http://www.sublimetext.com/3

You probably downloaded it from the development branch on this other page:

  1. https://www.sublimetext.com/3dev

Which requires a licence.

Sublime Text 3 dev builds are currently available to registered users only.

Thank you very much.

I downloaded from /www.sublimetext.com/docs/3/linux_repositories.html#apt but i run both the following lines:
echo “deb https://download.sublimetext.com/ apt/stable/” | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sublime-text.list
echo “deb https://download.sublimetext.com/ apt/dev/” | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sublime-text.list

so it overwrote the stable repo with the dev one.

Thank you for pointing this out :slight_smile:

Yeah, you only need to run one of those lines. To use the stable repo, just run the first.
