You have to figure out what's needed from licenseState based off of how it's used later in the application (or, if you're currently licensed, debug, step through, examine the value, and replicate it in your code base - accounting for things like time sensitive values, of course).Ībsolutely not worth it to get out of paying $10/year, but I could see a company with poorly compensated developers taking that approach.A password manager is a tool that helps you securely store and manage your passwords and other sensitive information, such as credit card numbers and bank account details. Most likely the code branches based off of responses from licensing servers and so on, so you'd need to replace (in the simplest case) const licenseState = await callLicenseServer(userDetails) with const licenseState =.

It also is likely more complicated than just commenting lines out. And of course you might need to deal with merge conflicts if existing places are changed. You'll need to repeat the process for new places where the licensing is checked. Mind you, you would have to do this process for every server update.Īssuming you merged the updates into your own branch, you might not need to do anything. That being said you COULD compile the code yourself, comment out every line of code that makes the Bitwarden server require licensing, and then roll your own.
