Well, I didn't really understand, the "cd" command can only goes to directories. If you are trying to run the script, paste "cd ~/Documents" and press Enter, then "sudo python3 ColdTurkeyBlockerActivator.py".

You are on the wrong path (The file is hidden) access it by enabling show hidden files in C folder or enter this path:
C:\ProgramData\Cold Turkey

Juancho2004gg · 2025-04-06T00:29:09Z

I ran it and the app is still on the free version.

nguyenhungphongg · 2025-04-13T04:35:24Z

I'm on 4.6 version and this worked for me. Try the code JustaTurtle21 just updated above, https://gist.github.com/miketartar/0fc8d7bca2369ce73ea9ee7b6e0c3775?permalink_comment_id=5426749#gistcomment-5426749.
Just download python, set up the environment, create a file name.txt, and open CMD, type "python name.txt" and it should be worked.

thanks mate for the reply

also sorry to all the fellows who have been asking me stuff, I was quite busy and cant really help anymore as I am on linux, I sincerely apologize

Kajus363 · 2025-05-03T20:08:05Z

IbrahimCodesSwiftly · 2025-05-05T10:00:32Z

Can someone help? 4.6 I tried copule of times, still does not activate the pro

Try the code after closing cold turkey from system tray, try this once and check if it activates otherwise do the steps again and see if it activates. It worked for me by doing this.

MrDron345 · 2025-05-08T09:34:02Z

New version 4.7 release. Cant activate it to pro version. Can someone help me please?

MaikMaster5 · 2025-05-10T15:17:38Z

Newest version seems to no longer be stored as JSON in the DB file, but is encrypted instead. (Though interestingly enough, it still supports the old JSON format.)
No current scripts floating around will work, sorry peeps.

Either someone will have to dig into the CTB code to figure out how it's been encrypted or take the lazy approach of simply pasting one in.
Alternatively, you can buy the software, which I'm planning to do regardless once I actually have any funds for it.

MaikMaster5 · 2025-05-10T20:55:10Z

I assume if someone made a save file on an older version and then migrates to the newest version, it should work without issue.
Only easy way the dev can really patch that is if they require users to re-authenticate any save file pre V.X.X.X. (whatever version the next one is).

...ouch

I hope this doesn't lead to an arms race that just wastes the dev's time, I could easily imagine it leading to online authentication that just makes the app worse and still gets bypassed by some tricky people.
It's good software and I hope to support it properly myself.

klausspz · 2025-05-14T13:43:42Z

Can someone explain to me how to do this? I arrived with no idea what was going on, just wanting to use a crack, i an using the 4.5 version
