just simply remove the code to triggers api call. Also, reomve the code verification

This is what my thinking was...
I have looked through the plugin and there is an API folder, im assuming this is just for licensing more than actually effecting the plugin and how it works.
I did use Google but could not find any specific answers...
In the code, can you advise what part i need to be looking at to deactivate the API verfication

Thanks for responding.
My thinking was that the API was used on maybe a licensing server.
As a couple of years ago someone managed to crack the plugin, well not crack but found a work around... since then, it appears they have added an API
Out of curiosity, do you know what code i need to be looking for to activate the plugin.. I get it could be useless afterwards but i still would like to try.

without looking at the code its impossible to tell. every code is different so there is no standard way i could tell you sorry.

Any plugin with a properly made protection will simply stop working after that. Why is that? Because most of them are tied to their server-side code and use it via REST API to perform this or that task.

It does depend on what “activation” actually is. If it is just some licensing server check, then it can be bypassed. If it does more than that (let’s say it downloads some business logic after the activation, or it has business logic in the api only..), then it cannot be bypassed most of the time. @itz_styx gave you the best answer in the thread so far imo.

if you remove the API code then it will work but if for every request it requires validation then it will be hard. If any data depends on API then its not doable as the data itself coming from API.

Great, e.g. remove the Google Translate API from a translation script and it works!
Spoiler: no, it doesn't work this way
Kindly help me with autowp ai writer and rewritten, by nulling it for me.
Thanks very much, I've never tried it before, but I will try, which code editor do you recommend I use?

If you're trying to save money, weigh the time spent (debugging time) against the cost of the plugin - many plugins cost $20-50. It's a good PHP exercise for learning, but it's risky for a live site.
