How to change SmartGit's licensing option after 30 days of commercial use on ubuntu?

Question

I went on the internet and I found this:

To alter the license. First, go to

Windows: %APPDATA%\syntevo\SmartGit<main-smartgit-version>

Windows portable: SmartGit\.settings\preferences.yml

OS X: ~/Library/Preferences/SmartGit/<main-smartgit-version>

Unix/Linux: ~/.smartgit/<main-smartgit-version>

and remove the file settings.xml.

If you have updated many times, you may need to remove the updates folder as well.

It helped me on Windows, hope it helps you on other systems as well.

Starting from version 19.1 they have renamed filenames:

➜ SmartGit grep -rl 'listx' ./19.1
./19.1/preferences.yml
./19.1/.backup/preferences.yml

It is possible to delete them to reset the license setting.

I use linux and the answers did not help me.
I had to erase the folder ~/.config/smartgit to make it work again. This is what the documentation is saying

Default Location of SmartGit's Settings Directory
Windows %APPDATA%\syntevo\SmartGit\ (%APPDATA% is the path defined in the environment variable APPDATA)
Mac OS ~/Library/Preferences/SmartGit/ (the Finder might not show the ~/Libraries directory by default, but you can invoke open ~/Library from a terminal)
Linux/Unix ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/smartgit/ (if the environment variable XDG_CONFIG_HOME is not defined, ~/.config is used instead)

For version 19.1 and above goto specified directory and delete these mentioned files:

1. C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\syntevo\SmartGit\20.1<smart-git-version>

   • preferences.yml
   • license file

2. C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\syntevo\SmartGit\20.1\.backup

   • preferences.yml

For the previous version goto specified directory and delete mentioned file:

1. C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\syntevo\SmartGit\17<smart-git-version>

   • setting.xml

My own solution on Linux (under ~/.config/smartgit/19.1) is to comment or remove line listx from preferences.yml file and reopen program.

Deleting the all folders will make you reconfigure everything (useless).

it would be helpful to know if you use linux or windows. in linux the settings are located in ~/.smartgit/3. You could try to remove this folder. Imho this is also worth a try in Windows.
