moving to Linux

Post by doobre » Fri Sep 19, 2025 6:20 am

Hi there, I have a lifetime key for MakeMKV in win10, can I use the same key in the Linux version installed thru a the snap store?

EDIT
and a follow up Q. does the firmware flash used in win10 still apply when using through linux/Zorin?

Ooops
I have version 1.18.1 linux(x64-release) and the message says "Downloading latest SDF to /home/zcdadmin/.MakeMKV/
But this 'downloading' doesn't complete.
The directory does exist (size=2.1Mib) and inside is the _private_data.tar file.
Can I update to the new version even though the file 'has not completed'? Is it just a case off extracting contents of the archive?

cheers CD

Seemingly the last stable binary is makemkv-bin-1.17.6.tar.gz, from https://makemkv.com/download/old/ Nearly 2 years old :-/
