How long to get key

Hello!

I purchased a licence for MakeMKV, also to get rid of expiring Beta key ;-)
I have not received the key yet (in the email, it said, I would need to contact MakeMKV, which I did). So it seems to had issues or the process is not automatic. Do you know, how long it takes to receive the new key? As the Beta key is expired, I can also not jump back to Beta key while waiting.

It is my understanding that what should have happened is after PayPro Global accepted payment, they should have emailed you a key. It seems that PayPro Global has run out of a stock of keys to give to customers. They kept accepting payment and told people to contact MakeMKV for a key. Undoubtedly Mike, that author of MakeMKV, was not expecting this to be the case.

I have faith that Mike will fix the situation so that PayPro Global has a stock of keys again and those who have already paid get a working key for the software. Unfortunately I don't have any insight into when all this will get fixed.

Okay, so a mistake on PayPro side. Good to know, thanks a lot!

Well... I can't reply toward the license situation as myself went to buy a license and the store was down... Concerning considering we upgraded our computer setup for this software.

Regardless, I would HIGHLY recommend that everyone downloads the latest version to save a copy, next change your system time back BEFORE July 30th 2025 and then open up MakeMKV after updating your system time & date. This gets around the Licensing issues and allows the Beta License to continue... Not the best solution but a solution that we are grateful for!!

This advise is following the makers recommendation on this forum post: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=20579

I can't believe this actually works, but it does! Or, at least it did when I tried a DVD. Going to have to try a blu-ray next. I swear I tried this in the past before I read about it here, and it DIDN'T work. Oh well, at least it does now. Thanks!

There is zero reason to set the date an entire year prior.

I just set mine to July 17, 2025, and it worked fine.

Sorry, set it to any date BEFORE July 30 2025... Happy now?

Here's what I did. Make a new text file and paste this into it, changing to your makemkv directory.

@echo off
if not "%1"=="am_admin" (powershell start -verb runas '%0' am_admin & exit /b)
date 05-04-25
time 00:00:00
start /wait "test" "D:\Program Files (x86)\MakeMKV\makemkv.exe"
w32tm /resync


Save as something like makemkv-date-change.bat

Well, considering that setting the system time too far back would cause issues with key retrieval... yes.

".exe," ".bat"? Did you look to see which forum you're in?
