Silveira-Software/Cursor-Trial-Reset-Guide — reverse-engineered prompt

Reverse engineered prompt

Build me a simple cross platform guide and scripts that help reset Cursor IDE’s local machine identifiers and app state when it gets stuck showing device or trial related errors. I want it to feel very easy for a normal person to use, with one command for macOS and one for Windows, clear instructions to fully close Cursor first, optional backup advice, and a short explanation of what gets cleared like the machine IDs, device IDs, caches, and state files.

Please include a clean README with quick start steps in plain language, plus a careful advanced macOS section for deeper reset options with strong warnings since that touches more sensitive system settings. The scripts should do the actual reset work for each platform and be safe, readable, and well commented.

Keep the project focused and practical, and add a note that users should only use it for local troubleshooting and should understand the risks before running it. If you need details, look up current Cursor file locations online.
