Information for registered users of WinRAR 1.xx - 2.50


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. Just write to us and provide as much data about your old registration as you have (key, user name, approximate date). Please note that your data will be checked against our users database, so it is senseless to send fake keys produced by different "key generators".
