WinRAR and Rar for Linux versions 2.60 and above are registered with
a new, very secure, AV registration seal. The main advantage of this
new authenticity verification code is a significant increase in
the strength of the registration code and thus it's use as a means
of identification of the origin of a sealed archive.

   Unfortunately this also means that the old registration keyfiles
will not operate with the latest versions of Rar-Linux and WinRAR and
thus all keyfiles must be changed. This is a cost-free process to
the registered user and instructions for receiving the new keyfiles
are given below: 

1)  You must locate your old registration information and this will be
    found either in the original e-mail which was sent to you when
    you registered or alternatively in the file RAR.INI in the user's home
    directory.

    You will need the registration CODE, and the registration NAME.

2)  Create a PLAIN TEXT e-mail message as follows:

     Recipient:  NewKey@rarsoft.com
     Subject:    Whatever you like

    The body of the message must contain only two lines, as described
    below:

     Registration code
     Registration name


    If you purchased more than one license for RAR, please submit
    ONLY the FIRST AV code and it's associated text string.  If anything
    other than the FIRST AV code is supplied, the robot will be unable
    to locate your keyfile for upgrade.

Example:

ABCDEF12345678
James Bloggs photo Co., Ltd

    Please note:  The e-mail message must NOT be in HTML format,
    otherwise it is in danger of being ignored.  If you are using
    an HTML e-mail program, then be sure to turn HTML OFF when creating
    this message.

3)  Send the e-mail message and a reply, containing either further
    instructions or your new key will be sent to you within 24 hours.
    You will need to keep your key in a safe place and be sure not
    to let anyone else have copies of them.

    The new key will be returned to you with an e-mail message and
    a file attached.  The attachment will be called RARKEYS.RAR and will
    contain one, or more, file:

    RARREG.KEY         ..      Your keyfile for WinRAR/Linux.

    If you purchased multiple keyfiles, these will be included in
    the returned archive as .002, .003 etc.

    To register RAR/Linux, simply copy the file RARREG.KEY (or RARREG.002,
    003 etc) into the user's home directory and it will automatically
    be registered. 

    If you have any difficulties with the change, please contact
    the registration site from whom you purchased the original registration
    and they will help to resolve any problems you may have.
