This tool addresses the issue of trial period limitations and API key restrictions encountered when using the Cursor IDE. It is designed for developers and power users who wish to bypass these limitations without purchasing a paid subscription. The primary benefit is the ability to continue using Cursor's advanced features beyond the initial trial period.

How It Works

The tool operates by modifying Cursor's storage.json configuration file, specifically targeting and regenerating unique identifiers related to telemetry, such as telemetry.machineId, telemetry.macMachineId, telemetry.devDeviceId, and telemetry.sqmId. This approach effectively resets the application's internal tracking, allowing it to recognize the machine as a new user and bypass trial limits. It also provides instructions for manually disabling auto-updates to prevent the trial limitations from reappearing.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Install/Run: Download cursor_bypass.exe from releases and run it. Alternatively, use the PowerShell script: irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Nikitosshow/cursor-help/refs/heads/main/cursor-help.ps1 | iex (run as administrator).
• Prerequisites: Windows OS (x64 or x86).
• Resources: Requires Cursor IDE to be installed. Setup is quick, involving running an executable or a PowerShell script.
• Links: Releases

Highlighted Details

• Supports Cursor versions 0.45.x and below, and recent 0.47.x versions.
• Offers both automated (executable/script) and manual installation methods.
• Includes instructions for disabling Cursor's auto-update feature.
• Implements safety features like safe process termination and atomic file operations.

Maintenance & Community

The project is maintained by Nikitosshow. There are links to support their projects via assets-hub.ru and exmodium.ru. No specific community channels like Discord or Slack are mentioned in the README.

Licensing & Compatibility

The repository does not explicitly state a license. The code is provided as-is, and its use for bypassing software limitations may violate Cursor's terms of service. Compatibility is primarily for Windows.

Limitations & Caveats

The tool is confirmed to work with specific Cursor versions (0.45.x and below, and 0.47.x), implying potential incompatibility with future or intermediate versions. The method relies on modifying application configuration files, which could be subject to change or detection by Cursor's developers.
