MakeMKV is saying I need to register but.....

Post by Twinflicks » Wed Sep 07, 2022 5:50 pm

I purchased makemkv last year. I'm trying to use it today and it's telling me I need to register or update. When I updated its asking for my registration number. Is there a way to get this from my purchase? I can't find any info on the makemkv site, unless I'm missing something. Can any give me directions on how to retrieve my registration code?

Which version?

Normally, if you update over the top of your current version, it absorbs the registration automagically. But a fresh install needs to have it put in. You would have received an email with the original registration, which still applies to the new copy.

If you have LOST the original email, you can ask the author for a copy. That's best done via email, so no one copies your registration.

support@makemkv.com works, yes. I think... it's been a LONG time since I used it! :)

Instant response isn't something Mike does all the time, unfortunately. Usually a day or two is necessary, sometimes a week. He's been fairly active lately, though...

It's not quite "that time of the month", just yet. Make sure, when copying the key, avoid leading/trailing spaces... just visible characters.

How are you applying the code? Windows? Code should be fine...

'Help' > 'Register' > paste beta code > 'OK'?
