How to crack a (non App Store) MacOS app? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

There's a troubleshooting application for MacOS I'd be happy to buy, but the developers only offer it as on a subscription model, which is unacceptable. If I'm going to buy software, I'd better be able to own it and still be able to use that version in 10 years. Subscription is the worst of both worlds -- pay for the thing, but don't get to own it.

I couldn't find a crack of it on torrentmac.net, so now I'm itching to try cracking it myself. I have the free trial downloaded and installed but it expires in a couple weeks. Any tips?

Yeah it's unfortunate. I've bought some applications before but like I said, I have them and a license key and they should run forever. I like different machines or OSs for different tasks. This very particular thing I'm interested in is to troubleshoot some (I think) aberrant wake-from-sleep behavior on a mac laptop so unfortunately I don't think that's going to work out.

Though I suppose I could throw Linux on it and see if it still has the same sleep/wake issues, to isolate whether it's a software/OS thing or a hardware issue.
