registering using makemkvcon

How do I register with the beta key using `makemkvcon`?
I've compiled and installed the latest version, run:
Code: Select all
makemkvcon reg T-T2HdpRvyvJtxjVtKWRv1n92AcFFFlYyl3FX2mazk0obKPR3V1fgIDQ793QfUnT2opR
But I just get "Key not found or invalid".
I've tried writing it to a file and using `reg filename.txt` but I get the same error.
Is there a way to register using the command line?
Thanks!

In ~/.MakeMKV/settings.conf put app_Key = "product-key"

I'm also experiencing this issue. I edited `settings.conf` and found that the beta key I'd entered via GUI was already in the conf. I restarted MakeMKV a couple of times. Haven't gone so far as to reboot the computer tho.

Make sure you're using the right key,

Post settings.conf here if it's still not working

I should add that this is running through ARM
Code: Select all

app_Key = "T-T2HdpRvyvJtxjVtKWRv1n92AcFFFlYyl3FX2mazk0obKPR3V1fgIDQ793QfUnT2opR"

Double-check the date on your computer.

Did I miss something obvious here? The beta key is good until the end of July 2022 and it's clearly 2022-07-21 now, and it seems I've followed all of the steps correctly.

This is a shot in the dark, but what's the permissions on .MakeMKV directory and settings.conf (run stat)

It Shouldn't be like that. Please enable "log debug messages" by adding to settings.conf
or running makemkvcon with --debug option , and post the log here.

Checking back on this, the issue still exists with the Aug/Sept key. Here's the latest log:

Also still having this problem on linux trying to run headless makemkv.
I ran strace and there's evidence that suggests that makemkvcon reg <key_here> is trying to parse the string as a path, not the actual key.
see attachment.

Replying to myself... i tried using the file method, and makemkvcon still refuses to accept the key.
Running makemkvcon with --debug or the debug flag set in settings.conf results in a log file with 2 lines acknowledging the creation of the file, nothing more. Definitely seems like license activation on linux is bugged on 1.17.2
