It is fairly easy to do:
1. Open the “etc/hosts” file on your seedbox (root access required!)
nano /etc/hosts
2. Now look for a line that looks something like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
At the end of the line you add “subsonic.org”, so that it looks like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost subsonic.org
3. Now go back to Subsonic and visit the donation page. At the bottom, there is a form.
For e-mail, you insert
[email protected]
and the license code will be
f3ada405ce890b6f8204094deb12d8a8
Why does this work? Subsonic just uses an MD5 hash of the e-mail address as a key. Authentication happens both remotely and locally, but via the entry in the hosts file, the authentication is only locally.
There is also a maintained fork on github with a version of Subsonic that is missing the licensing code from the beginning:
