There's no link to "Purchase MakeMKV" except thru the forums

I don't know if Mike has noticed that there are no links from
http://makemkv.com to
https://www.makemkv.com/buy. That link can be found only by digging into the forums. There's a link to "Purchase" from MakeMKV itself, but that link can't be accessed once the temp key has expired! So someone whose temp key has expired will have great difficulty purchasing a permanent key.

If he hasn't noticed, it isn't because it hasn't been pointed out to him...
Usually about every three months. Sometimes, we aren't even tactful.
But, that's why it's mentioned in a "sticky" message:
viewtopic.php?f=1&t=20579
It is possible to get to the link after the beta key expires - you have to set your system date to something before the expiration, long enough to start MakeMKV. Once it starts, you can revert back to the current date.

I just bought my license yesterday and noticed what you mention here, but the actual purchase address IS a more secure HTTPS.
I started at
http://www.makemkv.com/buy/ which is a standard link, BUT when you click either the link or click the button to buy, it takes you to the secure link for the actual purchase process:
https://secure.avangate.com/order/check ... 2140&QTY=1
Edit: Another senior moment, maybe. I now realize that this is more about people being able to FIND a purchase address than about concerns for the security of the links.
