    My serum serial seems to be timebombing. does anyone know an uninstall/reinstall plan that could get serum to work?

    osx 10.10.5

    Serum version: 1.017

    MANY THANKS!

    Seems to be a check of the serial#. Try to disable the internet connection: If the plugin itself could determin if the serial is wrong it would do it in the moment of entry. It seems it checks after 15 mins (via internet?). So I think (hope for you), an internet connection block would do the job. :)

    Hi, for non legit (R2R keygenning) be careful about license key : it will work until you'll save any preset (existing or new). Save features acting like timebomb. By opening new Serum instance later, serial is asked again. Occurs on Windows platforms (not patched plugin), but I don't know about MacOS sorry.

    As far as Im concerned there no no mac working versions. Only the first couple of releases do not timebomb. Not worth it since there are many improvements in the newer versions. Also most recent preset packs wont work. I would advice to purchase it if you feel like you really need it.

    Some PC versions you'll can find on brother website are prepatched (by unknown team) but not all of them. Of course the best way (for now) is to find unaltered and prepatched to understand the crack mechanism.

    Nice post SmikerNzt! Have you found this has been a solid solution, and if so, what version of Serum are you running?

    this is straight up garbage... if you do this it completely fucks up ur serum and its no where to find- it deletes your presets, and serum as a whole.... dont follow his steps !

    yes it delete it completely ,that's exactly what it do.
    in order to reinstall it , and block the traffic .
    if you don't understand what this commands then why you fallow them ? .

    rm = remove
    -rf = folder
