- 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.
