Tweak the Info.plist if required in order to remove or reduce the CPU MHz limit, and then open up /Applications/Aperture.app/Contents/MacOS/Aperture file in 0xED and jump to the offset 0x6f9a80 and change the text in right hand pane from performRequirementsCheck to performLicenceCheck and then add five hex 0×00 in the left hand pane to make the [...]
New version – new offset. Things are getting trickier now as I only have one machine that needs this hack, and that doesn’t have a live network connection which slows down the whole process somewhat.

The layouts are tailored for US keyboards, so I sent a message via [...]
This one isn’t mine: Michal was so quick off the mark I haven’t even downloaded the update yet this time performLicenseCheck is @ 6F2B0C Thanks very much for the speedy update !
This is pretty much the same as the original Aperture 2 trial hack, but with a different offset for the binary once it’s been installed. Follow the previous instructions but change the offset for the start of the performRequirementsCheck string to be 6dcd44
Update: 09mar08 Ok, fixed. Not sure when this changed, but each city now has its own registration link. I had been going to let this pass, but seeing as there’s no change after three days I think it needs to be at least pointed out… Apple have announced an Aperture World Tour to show off [...]
