This repository will tell you how Navicat offline activation works.

How does it work?

1. Download the latest release from here.

2. Use navicat-patcher.exe to replace Navicat Activation Public Key that is stored in navicat.exe and libcc.dll.

   navicat-patcher.exe <Navicat installation path> [RSA-2048 PEM file]
   

   • <Navicat installation path>: The full path to Navicat installation folder.

     This parameter must be specified.

   • [RSA-2048 PEM file]: The full path or relative path to a RSA-2048 private key file.

     This parameter is optional. If not specified, navicat-patcher.exe will generate a new RSA-2048 private key file RegPrivateKey.pem at current directory.

   Example: (in cmd.exe)

   navicat-patcher.exe "C:\Program Files\PremiumSoft\Navicat Premium 12" .\RegPrivateKey.pem
   

   It has been tested on Navicat Premium 12.1.7 Simplified Chinese version. The following is an example of output.

   MESSAGE: Navicat.exe has been found.
   MESSAGE: libcc.dll has been found.
   
   MESSAGE: [Solution0] Keyword has been found: offset = +0x0297a6e0.
   MESSAGE: [Solution1] Keywords[0] has been found: offset = +0x02057530.
   MESSAGE: [Solution1] Keywords[1] has been found: offset = +0x006c4f89.
   MESSAGE: [Solution1] Keywords[2] has been found: offset = +0x02057240.
   MESSAGE: [Solution1] Keywords[3] has been found: offset = +0x006c4f6f.
   MESSAGE: [Solution1] Keywords[4] has been found: offset = +0x0205722c.
   
   Your RSA public key:

3. Then use navicat-keygen.exe to generate snKey and Activation Code

   navicat-keygen.exe <-bin|-text> [-adv] <RSA-2048 PrivateKey(PEM file)>
   

   • <-bin|-text>: Must be -bin or -text.

     If -bin is specified, navicat-keygen.exe will finally generate license_file. It is used for Navicat old activation method only.

     If -text is specified, navicat-keygen.exe will finally generate a Base64-style string which is Activation Code. It is used for Navicat new activation method.

     This parameter must be specified.

   • [-adv]: Enable advanced mode.

     This parameter is optional. If specified, navicat-keygen.exe will ask you input Navicat product ID number, language signature numbers. It is for future use generally.

   • <RSA-2048 PrivateKey(PEM file)>: The full path or relative path to a RSA-2048 private key file.

     This parameter must be specified.

   Example: (in cmd.exe)

   navicat-keygen.exe -text .\RegPrivateKey.pem

   You will be asked to select Navicat product, language and input major version number. After that an randomly generated snKey will be given.

   Select Navicat product:
   1. DataModeler
   2. Premium
   3. MySQL
   4. PostgreSQL
   5. Oracle
   6. SQLServer
   7. SQLite
   8. MariaDB
   9. MongoDB
   10. ReportViewer
   
   (Input index)> 1
   
   Select product language:
   1. English
   2. Simplified Chinese
   3. Traditional Chinese
   4. Japanese
   5. Polish
   6. Spanish
   7. French
   8. German
   9. Korean
   10. Russian
   11. Portuguese
   
   (Input index)> 1
   
   (Input major version number, range: 0 ~ 15, default: 12)> 12
   
   Serial number:
   NAVA-DHCN-P2OI-DV46
   
   Your name: 
   

   You can use this snKey to activate your Navicat preliminarily.

   Then you will be asked to input Your name and Your organization. Just set them whatever you want, but not too long.

   Your name: DoubleLabyrinth
   Your organization: DoubleLabyrinth
   Input request code (in Base64), input empty line to end:

   After that, you will be asked to input the request code. Now DO NOT CLOSE KEYGEN.

4. Disconnect your network and open Navicat. Find and click Registration. Fill Registration Key by snKey that the keygen gave and click Activate.

5. Generally online activation will failed and Navicat will ask you do Manual Activation, just choose it.

6. Copy your request code and paste it in the keygen. Input empty line to tell the keygen that your input ends.

   Your name: DoubleLabyrinth
   Your organization: DoubleLabyrinth
   
   Input request code (in Base64), input empty line to end:

7. Finally, you will get Activation Code which looks like a Base64 string. Just copy it and paste it in Navicat Manual Activation window, then click Activate. If nothing wrong, activation should be done successfully.
