MakeMKV and Beta Key Out of Date

I've not been able to use MakeMKV this weekend because every time I fire up the program I get a dialog that says my version (v1.18.1) is out of date. I've tried downloading and installing, but all I download is the same v1.18.1. I've tried entering the Beta key, but that's the same – it expired July 31. Hope this can be sorted soon.

I HIGHLY recommend that everyone downloads the latest version to save a copy, next change your system time back a year 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!!
