save pattrstorage without a Max licence?
hello, I am writing a piece for someone who does not own Max, and I am wondering if it is possible to save data inside a pattrstorage (probably an external json file) when you don't own a Max license.
Also, is there a way to de-authorize Max for a few hours, do tests, and then re-authorize it?
thanks!

To deauthorise max disconnect from internet,
move max authorisation text file out of the supporting folder.
To reauthorise, put the file back.
Saving data from max should be possible, as long
as it is stored to external file, no matter what kind.
Only saving maxpat, making standalones or collectives
would not work.
ok thanks for the info, this is great
do you know where the authorization file is located on a mac?
Authorization file is located at :
User Library/Application Support/Cycling '74/Max 8/Authorization/maxauth.txt
User library is usually hidden,
to make it visible paste this in terminal :
sudo chflags nohidden ~/Library/
I am not sure if SIP has to be disabled for it to work, I disable all that apple crap
from the very beginning of the OS install.
thanks!
One can also reach the User library through the "Go" menu in the Finder: if you look at the menu and press the option key, you'll see the Library appear.
