Upgrading to ST4 won't let me use the editor without a license

#1

In previous versions I could use the editor without having to buy the license, I wonder if for this version it is mandatory to pay for one?

Not sure how it happens, but you may on the dev repository rather than the stable one. In that case, how can one used a ST 3 dev version without a proper license previously :upside_down_face:

I’m on stable versions, the update was a simple apt-get update && apt-get install sublime-text I just downloaded the package from the website and it worked fine, I will stop installing the updates through the package manager for a while, while the problem is requested.

Can you share the output from cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sublime-text.list?

Ups, i was using the dev channel.

I solved the issue upgrading /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sublime-text.list
from deb https://download.sublimetext.com/ apt/dev/
to deb https://download.sublimetext.com/ apt/stable/

and re-install it using.

apt-get update
apt-get install sublime-text -y
