You can either crack it yourself or you can buy from me.

How to crack it:

Three jars are decrypted from native code and main loader class takes control.

The java loader starts decrypting the crypted jar in relative path:

./internal/libs/SQLib.jar

and one of the interesting steps for us is the checkLicense one

CheckLicense

private void checkLicense() {
        try {
            SQApp.Log.debug("Verifying license.");
            Brokers.init();
            SQApp.Log.debug("Verifying license. Step 2");
            final SQLicenser instance = SQLicenser.getInstance();
            instance.setLicenceFilePath(MainApp.getDataPath() + "licenceFile.lic");
            SQApp.Log.debug("Verifying license. Step 3");
            try {
                if (instance.licenseFileExists()) {
                    SQApp.Log.debug("Verifying license. Step 4");
                    instance.verifyLicenseFromFile();
                }
            }
            catch (Exception ex) {
                LicenseDialog.getInstance().setLicense(instance.getLastCheckedLicenseCode());
                LicenseDialog.getInstance().setError(ex.getMessage());
                SQApp.Log.error("License verification failed. Exc. ", (Throwable)ex);
            }
            LicenseDb.init(SQStructure.INTERNAL_DIR_PATH);
            if (this.isRunInConsole()) {
                SQApp.Log.debug("Verifying license. Step 5 CLI");
                if (!SQLicenser.getInstance().verified()) {
                    SQApp.Log.debug("Verifying license. Step 6 CLI");
                    final String license = LicenseDb.getLicense();
                    if (license != null && !license.isEmpty()) {
                        SQApp.Log.debug("Verifying license. Step 7 CLI");
                        instance.verifyLicenseOnline(license);
                    }
                }
            }
            else {
                SQApp.Log.debug("Verifying license. Step 5");
                while (BrowserGUI.getInstance() == null) {
                    SQApp.Log.info("Waiting for internal browser initialization");
                    Thread.sleep(500L);
                }
                SQApp.Log.info("License dialog initing");
                BrowserGUI.getInstance().showLicenseLoadingScreen();
                final String license2 = LicenseDb.getLicense();
                if (license2 != null && !license2.isEmpty()) {
                    LicenseDialog.getInstance().setLicense(license2);
                }
                SQApp.Log.debug("Verifying license. Step 6");
                if (!SQLicenser.getInstance().verified()) {
                    SQApp.Log.debug("Verifying license. Step 7");
                    BrowserGUI.getInstance().loadLicenseDialogForm();
                    SQApp.Log.debug("Verifying license. Step 8");
                    if (instance.isItTrial() || instance.isItPartnerTrial() || instance.isItFullMbg()) {
                        LicenseDb.setLicense(instance.getLicenseCode());
                    }
                    else {
                        LicenseDb.setLicense("");
                    }
                }
            }
            if (!SQLicenser.getInstance().verified()) {
                SQApp.Log.info("Missing license.");
                MainApp.exitJVM();
            }
            SQApp.Log.debug("License was successfully verified.");
        }
        catch (Exception ex2) {
            SQApp.Log.error("Failed to check license. Exc. ", (Throwable)ex2);
            MainApp.exitJVM();
        }
    }

You can start tracing from here to follow what’s happening:

String references are not easy to deal with because of the way Go arranges them (i.e. concatenated in blocks).
