Hi
Makemkv keeps saying fatal error - enter new licence key then crashing. I have tried removing and reinstalling without any change. Any ideas please?
Thanks
Rich

Most likely you're caught at the time when the old key expires, and the new key has not been issued yet.
If you temporarily set your system date to May 30th 2023, start the program, then reset your date, you will be able to run it until a new beta key is issued.
It's unusual that a version was released just before the beta key expired, but it can happen. Those with purchased keys do not see this.

But for me, it's crashing even before it asks for a new key. So how can I enter the new key when it gets posted?

Set your system date to prior to the expiration of the key until the program starts. After it's running, it doesn't check.

I can confirm changing system time works perfectly.
Thanks
