I am getting the message that my version is too old, but the only download is v 1.17.4. Why is this?
I have found no posts addressing this...is there a secret forum or something that I am not aware of?

I am also having this issue. I tried to uninstall and reinstall a couple of times with the same result.

I sent an admin a pm, and no reply. I think they are ignoring us beta users, hoping we'll cough up some cash. Maybe?

Have you read thru the
FAQ about BETA and PERMANENT keys.? The solution may be as simple as applying the latest beta key.

That fixed the problem. I didn't consider it since it expires at the end of the month. Thank you!

No worries, but as Woodstock points out in another thread, be aware...

Also note that the current key expires in a few days, so you'll have to do it again when the new key is issued.

If you look at the main download page, 1.17.5 was just released for Windows and Mac today
MakeMKV v1.17.5 (25.9.2023)
I expect the Linux beta version will be out in due course.
Indeed, the files appear to be on the download site, but it's possible the forum post hasn't been updated.
https://www.makemkv.com/download/makemk ... 7.5.tar.gz
https://www.makemkv.com/download/makemk ... 7.5.tar.gz
I haven't tested them, yet.

I got the 2 tar.gz files linked above, and used 7-zip to extract everything to standard folders. I don't know what the difference between them is really, but I used both. I can't find a .exe or .msi file to install with, and I'm stuck on how to proceed.
Also, I put in the beta code from viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1053, but that did not work for the 17.4 version. Also, the registration box come up only after the program has put up the notice of the 17.4 version being too old, allowed for the registration button to be clicked, then announced a fatal error and closed the main program.

IF you are looking for a .msi/.exe, I will assume you are running Windows. Those archives linked above are for linux installs.
Try
https://www.makemkv.com/download/ for the Windows installer.

Thanks, the 17.5 file just wasn't there when I kept trying to reinstall. I guess there's this gap between one version expiring and another being posted. I've never heard of a system like that.
