Hi,
win 10 to 11 update went south and I had to make a clean re-install. Now I'll have to install all apps also but I've lost my licence-key to MakeMKV. How can I get a new one etc.

If you purchased MakeMKV, your original license key was emailed to you. Search your email for your license key.

Yes...well. There we will have another problem. Since I bought it years ago and I had a notice of emailbox getting out of space.... You know what has happened... So, I'm in trouble.

The program's author, Mike, is the only one who has access to the license data. You'll have to email
support@makemkv.com to have him help you.

Hi,
Is there any other support channels? I've emailed now twice about this matter and still no response. Nothing at all.

Get KeePass - safely store all your passwords for all websites and also store keys for software (in the notes field).
A bit late, but do this for next time and make a backup of your keepass database.

Doesn't really help in any way now and I'll use other methods for PW:s storing, not another program/automation that can be hacked.

Out of curiosity, if not a password storing program, what other method will you use for storing passwords, software licenses, and the like?

I guess he has a sheet of paper with all of them in his wallet.
. I would need a handbag for all my passwords on paper.
