aperture 2.1.1 hack

Ok, the offset for this latest update is 0x6f4bf0 – see the original Aperture 2 post for full details.

The summary is that you need to hex edit the Aperture.app/Contents/MacOS/Aperture file so that the string that starts at offset 0x6f4bf0 reads performLicenseCheck and is followed by five zero characters (ie: replace all of the text in the original performRequirementsCheck string).

Enjoy.
