Shortnote

Smasher (for Mac) is a tool to browse and clean fonts. It can be easily smashed and turned into a never-ending demo by jumping over the segments containing obj_msg_demoExpired and by incapacitating the isExpired and the checkIfDemoExpired methods.

Check If Demo Expired

                                    meth_Registration__checkIfDemoExpired_:
