16.1.8 AppImage source about navicat-linux

Here's a valid version of Navicat Premium 16, link

Tested it and works fine.

I also found another AUR repo for Navicat 15 that gave navicat.rainss.cc as its source. This is a website that has many versions of v15 and v16 archived, including v16.1.8 in multiple languages.

Thing is, that page provides the entire keygen in a webbased form and the AppImages are prepatched with a certificate that works with their website. Luckily, you can revert the AppImage to its original state by moving usr/lib/libcc.so.bak to usr/lib/libcc.so (inside the AppImage). That way the AppImages (or their unpacked files) are patchable again so you can use it with the offline keygen and your own certificate. I personally don't like the idea of a website possibly going offline and losing a working patch for new activations.

Their AppImage is working fine and seems legit overall. That being said, newer versions indeed seem to stay activated and see the key, however, my name doesn't get recognized - instead it says 'Not Licensed'. Trial doesn't seem to get triggered though, so I guess it doesn't matter.

I still wish for more official sources/untouched AppImages with a clear source. Too bad websites like archive.org didn't properly archive the Linux versions... Thanks for now!

您是否找到 16.1.8 版本的可靠来源？

No, because I found Navicat Premium Lite 17 that I can use for free！

I found the old version of Navicat 16 AppImage 16.0.11 here https://github.com/nninjia/navicat16-premium-en-aur through AUR package PKGBUILD (RUN AT YOUR OWN RISK), I also found out that activation status of Navicat stay persisted for latest version, which I guess can be counted as a workaround for latest Navicat 16, just complete the activation process as usual on older version of Navicat 16, once that done, run the latest version of Navicat 16 AppImage

+1 on the official link for the 16.1.8 version.

Thanks so much for this tip! Seems like it's only been out for a few days but this already simply solves all hassle for average users. This is amazing; free, legal, official and with updates.
