What is the deal with the KEY?

[darkknightkjm]

New on the forum, but been using the program for awhile now, and like many here, been using the program for free without buying a permanent key.

I tried back dating my computer to July 2025 and using the last free beta key...works perfectly.

I also tried changing the date on my computer, and opening the program, and then changed the computer date back to August 2025, and...it worked ripping the disk!!

I'll try again tomorrow when I have more time to see if I change the date, open the program, then change the date to the actual date if I can continue ripping disk after disc if I leave the program open.

Same here with the key purchase. Took my $60 but no key

It's been a week since I started this thread. Unfortunately, nothing has been resolved yet wrt any updated keys - and the ability to purchase a key is now lost due to "Mystery Mike" being AWOL. I know I'm not the only one who is disappointed with this situation.[/i].

No offense but some of you people need to stop being ungrateful BITCHES. I personally feel lucky we have this program and it has been free for so long to use. It will be a sad loss if Mike doesn't continue to maintain it but it has been a helluva ride. Anyone paying for these tools is a chump anyways!!

NO OFFENSE??! I'm sorry, but your comment doesn't reflect your statement. So first of all, fuck you. And finally - fuck you again, BITCH.

Now, now. Let's all be nice here.

None of us know whats going on with Mike and the beta key problems. Looks like this program has been around for free for a long time. And many of us haven't purchased the key, just using the free version.

Let's be thankful and grateful for this program and especially to Mike who has allowed us to enjoy it for so long.

And, just in case this program or website goes away, make sure you have the install program and the last free beta key archived, preferably on your computer and a backup external drive.

Cry more. You know I'm right. Also I didn't single you out specifically but you obviously took offense. If the shoe fits brother, it fits. You don't appreciate this program?? Do you think you are entitled to it? LOL!!

Why would you pay $60 when something has been free since its' inception??

To support the people who have allowed you to use this software for free for all these years. It's called giving thanks.

Completely agree. I am amazed at how many folks are entitled and MAD because they paid for something that literally NO ONE has had to pay for before. They are ANGRY because their "woobie" is interrupted basically. It's hilarious.

Now keep it straight. Install Makemkv. Set you PC's date to e.g. 1 June 2025. Enter current beta key. Enjoy! Keep the date before August 2025 when you use Makemkv.

That's great that we can still use it by changing the PC date but will new keys get added when discs come out? Anyone else besides Mike do that??

Yes I think dumps are still being submitted for new discs and working as of right now.
