Registration code on headless server

Post by habbywall »

Hi all!

I'm running MakeMKV on a headless Ubuntu server. I recently purchased a registration code and am having trouble entering it properly. I've created a file in /home/USER/.MakeMKV/settings.conf with contents

Code: Select all

app_Key="appkeyhere"
and it doesn't seem to be responding as everytime I go to rip it is coming back saying I need to purchase the software.

Should I be putting this file somewhere else or doing it a different way?

The filename and location look correct. The only difference from your example that I see in my .MakeMKV is that there are spaces around the =. I don't know if MakeMKV is that picky about the spaces but it's worth a try.

Code: Select all

app_Key = "keygoeshere"
Also I believe that the key itself is case sensitive, so make sure that it exactly matches.
