Patches

Affinity

• License check (entitlement to run)
• Eula acceptance
• Crash report uploading
• Analytics upload
• AppMode (unsure what this does yet; patched to Ultimate)
• Skip linking Affinity ID / Canva account

Description:
  Universal application patcher for Affinity v3.x/v2.x/v1.x products and DxO PhotoLab.

Usage:
  AffinityPatcher [options]

Options:
  --input <input> (REQUIRED)  Target application directory (i.e., path containing the main executable).
  --mode <Affinity|DxO>       Select which application to patch. [default: Affinity]
  --verbose                   Enable verbose logging.
  --keep                      Backup original assembly.
  --version                   Show version information
  -?, -h, --help              Show help and usage information

Is this safe?

All the patcher does is patch the methods to either true or false - that's it. You can manually fix the assembly based on the function names found in the code yourself. This just makes you and I's life easeier.
