Sublime Text 3 re-asking for license

#1

Hi,

I’m using my ST2 license with the last beta of ST3. Every now and then ST3 (usually when started from the terminal) re-asks for the license. Anyone else ran into this and know a solution?

I keep my “~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3” folder symlinked into Dropbox (so I have the same settings on both my machines). Could this be the issue?

tia,

I believe that ST3 hashes the license on disk with the machine id, which is probably why.

FYI, if you are using Package Control, syncing the whole Sublime Text folder could lead to broken packages. See sublime.wbond.net/docs/syncing for more details.

You need to exclude the “Local” folder which is a subfolder of the “Sublime Text 3” folder.
I synchronise also so i’ll have the same settings at home and at work but you don’t need the “local” folder for that.
BTW The file were the license information is stored is: Sublime Text 3\Local\License.sublime_license
