The crack procedure involves cracking both the Jump Desktop binary as well as muting an annoying popup from the Sparkle binary of the Sparkle Framework.

Jump Desktop's protection is minor and usually revolves around this type of construct that you can observe predominantly in the disassembly at each step where a license check or trial days check is involved:

00000001000c5a51 803D50E5050100                  cmp        byte [ds:0x101123fa8], 0x0
00000001000c5a58 E994040000                      jne        0x1000c5ef1

after which, license and trial checks follow.

A simple example of this sequence can be found in sub_1000c5a40, the one responsible for popping-up the annoying nag window when the application launches in case the application is not registered:

                                       ; Basic Block Input Regs: <nothing> -  Killed Regs: <nothing>

That being said, it is sufficient to search for XFREF 0x101123fa8 and turn the jne into a jmp for each reference. This takes care of everything including license checks, trial days remaining, and so on, and so forth…

The Sparkle framework uses some ridiculous cryptographic check to verify that the binary Jump Desktop has not been altered. If it has, then it displays an annoying error but without any other consequences.

So, reaching into Frameworks/Sparkle.framework/Versions/Current and loading-up the Sparkle binary, we find the following construct in methImpl_SUUpdater_initForBundle_:

Around 0x132e1, we find a je that would lead to the part displaying the nag modal screen. So we eliminate the je and replace it with two nops leading up to the jmp at 0x13300, which throws us out of the function without nagging us.

With the nags out of the way and the Sparkle popup removed, we obtain a fully-functional Jump Desktop application.
