winrar problem

Hi, a while ago i used that offer to get a free winrar key and it worked fine and said registered. but today i downloaded the newer version 3.6 from 3.5 and when i put the text file in the folder it dont find it and still says 40 day trial.

what can i do?
thanks in advance

The offer was only valid for 3.5 .... it didn't apply to any upgrades. .... Remove 3.6 (deleting all folder contents) and re-install 3.5 should do the trick.

 

thanks Dog I installed the 3.5 version over the top and its back now to being registered.

Glad to hear it.

WinRAR is the best archiver I'ver used to date ... but 3.5 should more than suit your needs -- (no need to purchase the newer version ... but should you wish to, the fact that it's a one time purchase makes it more than worth it. )

its the best archiver i have used as well and during my clear out of programs that can be replaced by lighter versions i uninstalled winzip and now use winrar only.

I concur, under Windows I too only use WinRAR.

 

You mean to say that you never used PowerArchiver?

 

Got it too, but recently switched to WinRar, due to slow starting up from PA.
Both are really good, but once using WinRar I won't be switching back.

 

Just a week ago I decided to purchase PowerArchiver 2006, because it supports more CD images, like Nero's NRG format.
If I knew about the free winrar key sooner...

 

Pity, but not too late to change your mind in the future.
It's a one time purchase, same as PowerArchiver.
