To null the activation check all you have to do is replace lines 21-28 in ActivationCheckMiddleware.php under App/http/middleware
Original
public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
if (!$this->actch()) {
return Redirect::away(base64_decode('aHR0cHM6Ly82YW10ZWNoLmNvbS9zb2Z0d2FyZS1hY3RpdmF0aW9u'))->send();
}
return $next($request);
}
Replaced:
public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
if ($this->actch()) {
return null;
}
return $next($request);
}
This will always make the platform think it is activated & allow you to get past the step during a update or new install to enter your purchase code info.
Now when it asks you for that information just enter what ever you want
