typora问题解决：This beta version of Typora is expired

1：背景描述

从2021年11月份开始，我们习惯使用的Markdown工具Typora正式进入了收费模式，当时用的是beta版最新的，因为收费所以原来的文档都打不开了，页面报错
This beta version of Typora is expired, please download and install a newer version。
因为原有数据被锁，可以通过nodepad++来打开，但是很不习惯，临时找了网上的教程，下载旧版本的（也是beta系列的），然后一用就再免费用了半年，但是最近旧版的也面临了同样的问题，导致我的Markdown文件又被锁死了，所以寻找了永久的‘续命’方法。

2：永久解决方案

查找了网上各种资源，亲自试过后，下面的解决方法能够完美解决。

步骤1：环境准备

首先需要本地的windows环境下有python环境，推荐python3的环境，python2因为很多第三方包没有维护，官方也不在更新，亲测工具有些依赖无法下载。如果本地windows环境中没有python环境，或者只有python2环境，推荐跳转本人的其他blog：https://blog.csdn.net/qq_21583139/article/details/125881382

步骤2：github上下载工具

感谢博主开源了工具，链接如下所示，可以直接下载压缩包本地再解压，或者git clone到本地

https://github.com/WittonBell/typoraCracker

例如我下载的位置是（或者放置在你想要放置的位置，注意路径下不要有中文）

C:\Users\leel\typoraCracker-master

步骤3：进入路径，进入正题

执行命令win + R进入windows的终端，然后进入当前的工具环境下cd C:\Users\leel\typoraCracker-master，注意windows环境进入某个路径和linux环境不一样，首先先C:进入c盘，如果是D:先进入D盘，然后再cd到指定路径下。
此时假设你已经做好了环境准备（python3）
按照我的那篇https://blog.csdn.net/qq_21583139/article/details/125881382所介绍那样，这里我使用python2和python3 共存的环境来演示，执行如下命令,（这里注意，如果只有python3的环境或者python2的话，直接使用pip install -r requirements.txt即可，pip3是本人做了py2和py3共存的处理）

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

结果如下：（注意，如果没有修改pip下载源的话，就会很慢，或者失败，但是可以反复执行这条安装命令，因为会断点续传，失败多试几次就会成功）

安装好依赖后，执行如下指令，运行脚本typora.py
这里需要注意的是，“C:Users\leel\AppData\Local\Program Files\Typora\resources\app.asar”，是你原来的无法使用了的typora的安装路径，要用双引号标注，请自行确定好。且注意这里我用的python3，和上面pip3一样，下文不再赘述。

python3 typora.py "C:\Users\leel\AppData\Local\Programs\Typora\resources\app.asar" .

执行后的效果如下

执行完脚本后会发现当前的工具下会多出来一个文件夹，名为dec_app，进入当前的文件夹，然后找到License.js的文件，通过记事本或者nodepad++等其他工具打开后，使用搜索功能，找到如下的一行

This beta version of Typora is expired, please download and install a newer version.

这里我使用pycharm打开，因为更符合用户观看，将下图中4个时间戳改为4102329600000。替换后，保存退出。感兴趣的可以在时间戳转换器上看看这两个时间戳的日期。

随后执行如下命令

python3 typora.py -u dec_app/ .

结果如下

此时会在当前目录下生成一个新的文件，名字叫app.asar

最后，我们将它替换typora的安装目录下的同一个文件就完成了，C:\Users\leel\AppData\Local\Programs\Typora\resources\app.asar
然后就能继续使用typora，自己的文件也可以解锁了。

3：后记

当然，本文只是学习交流使用，希望大家有余力的话支持正版。

其实是否可以使用他人的这个经过pojie后的app.asar文件直接替换不清楚，不过相信每个经过自己亲自去实践的乐趣会更多，成就感更多。
