Re: What is the deal with the KEY?

Well, back to what is more important:

There's no news yet regarding this situation?

Re: What is the deal with the KEY?

Pure speculation, but another thing to consider as to what may be the issue here is that makeMKV's server is apparently in Russia according to this post... https://forum.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=15289#:~:text=Re:%20MakeMKV%20flagged%20by%20VirusTotal&text=This%20happens%20from%20time%2...

Re: What is the deal with the KEY?

The thing is, none of us really know anything about why the beta key hasn't been updated, why Mike or a moderator hasn't posted any answers to this, or why the permanent keys aren't being issued after purchase recently after July 31 2025. Sadly, that leads to a lot of confusion, anger, conjecture a...

There's no one that can tell us something about what's happening (not speculate) with beta keys and the purchase of the lifetime key???
If anybody knows anything for certain, they're not talking. I speculate that speculation is all we have at the moment.

We are all "lost", the moderators don't explain or don't know too, purchases are not working, refunds being made automatically... So, even if it starts to work again, how can we be confident that it won't happen again?

Don't get me wrong, MakeMKV is a great sw, but all this situation, and the lack of any information, it's not all that good.
This sort of thing isn't all that unusual for software primarily developed by a single person, especially when that software is available free or mostly free. Life happens at you, you get overcome by events. You fall and break your wrist, your significant other leaves you, your dad dies, or heck, you just get hit by a bad spell of depression... but regardless of the cause, you're unable to maintain the project for a while.

And yeah, it's ideal if you have a backup person, but that requires some combination of money, project management skills, and social networking that is not available or just not interesting to a lot of developers. We're an insular bunch. 😅
There are a couple of moderators. They should have been notified about it.

Re: What is the deal with the KEY?

Hi, Honestly, i never bought the key since i barely have DVDs left to rip and since i'm from Europe, the price is too high. Like others, i installed now the newer version (i haven't used MakeMKV for 2 months) and it always says that the application version is too old... Also, we're now on 6th August...

At Last!!! The website is now live. Please be patient as there might be a few bugs, but nothing that can't be sorted. https://shop.uhdfriendlydrives.co.uk Hi, What do you recommend just for ripping DVD/BR (not going to burn BR) using MakeMKV, and possibly DVDFab (if any issue appears with MakeMKV),...

Re: (Asmcom:) Pioneer UHD 4K Drives, Cheap Shipping, Worldwide Service, Excellent Service!!!

As I said in those links, it'll probably come with a BU40N these days and that's not a terrible drive that you can flash yourself. If you've only got the money for one drive and you really want a Pioneer and you're in the UK, waiting for Asmcom's store to open is perhaps the way to go. If you don't...

Re: (Asmcom:) Pioneer UHD 4K Drives, Cheap Shipping, Worldwide Service, Excellent Service!!!

So, Verbatim 43888 should be a good choice (I won't burn BRs) if it comes with a Pioneer? Buying on Amazon we can always return it. As I said in those links, it'll probably come with a BU40N these days and that's not a terrible drive that you can flash yourself. If you've only got the money for one...

Re: (Asmcom:) Pioneer UHD 4K Drives, Cheap Shipping, Worldwide Service, Excellent Service!!!

Hi there, I need a 4K UHD Ripper, I'm on a Mac and in the UK. I've spent days researching this and still not sure what to buy and where to buy it from. Any help, links etc would be great. Thanks, I've answered similar questions recently, so I'll just post links. https://forum.makemkv.com/forum/view...

Re: (Asmcom:) Pioneer UHD 4K Drives, Cheap Shipping, Worldwide Service, Excellent Service!!!

@Asmcom You are from the UK? I was thinking about buying one (Pioneer, external, slim, and if possible, slot open to front) but i'm from Portugal, so i wanted to avoid the import fees, and probably, high shipping costs. I saw people saying There is a Verbatim 43888 drive available in Europe that use...
