I downloaded/installed Sublime Text 3 via the .deb package and inserted my license. The window popped up saying thank you for registering.

However, it still says unregistered in the menu/title bar. How can I remove it? Minor annoyance after spending the money to get a license.

  • I'm having the same issue. The .desktop file shows "Sublime Text", but the Unity launcher and Switcher both show the (UNREGISTERED) message.

I just had this issue as well and it turned out it was just the unity link file that needed to be updated. The link was created before I registered sublime so the link name gets created with the UNREGISTERED string.

I was able to fix this by modifying the link file.

vim ~/.local/share/applications/sublime_text.desktop

You can then change the Name= entry

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=Sublime Text -- UNREGISTERED
Icon=sublime_text.png
Exec=/opt/sublime_text/sublime_text
StartupNotify=false
StartupWMClass=Sublime_text
OnlyShowIn=Unity;
X-UnityGenerated=true

  • Is there a way to have changes update without having to log out and back in?

    @smhg, quit sublime text and unlock it from the launcher. Start sublime text again, and relock it to launcher. Aug 15, 2017 at 6:47
