I downloaded and installed MakeMKV, but there was an error with the installation. I had to uninstall and re-install the program (this is within five minutes of the original installation) and now the program will not run, saying that the beta key is expired. I may purchase the program, but for $60 I would like to try it out first for the 30 day trial period. Is there anything I can do to get to use the trial period?

For what it's worth, I am getting a lot of error messages with 'SSL Handshake Failed' and the server for the forum appears to be extremely slow.

Thank you for any help.

Assuming you haven't installed the revised beta key from MakeMKV is free while in beta yet, since you don't mention it. The current beta runs through the end of this month, so the key in the install file (several months old) will probably be expired...

I had the same confusion the first time I installed MakeMKV. The installer includes an old beta key, so after reinstalling it can look like the trial already expired. Just grab the latest beta key from the forum announcement thread and it should work again normally.

The SSL handshake errors and slow forum loading are probably server-side and unrelated to your install.
