Will there be a new temporary key for August?

Post by Lonald »

It appears the current key expired at the end of July.

Thanks!

I noticed that Mike (dev) usually updates the key around the 5th-7th of every month, but sometimes it's late if he's busy or there's a big update. Do you think they're preparing to release a new update?

No one knows at the moment. But my hopes are fading day by day as we receive no news about what will happen next.

Mike seems to be away from the site right now, so you won't even be able to buy a key.

You'll just have to keep watching the forums and see what happens with the purchased key issue that people are having. Or you can keep an eye on the purchase site since they are not selling keys until Mike gets back to them.

If only there was a way to go back to a time when the key did work.

On my Windows 11 changing the date to July 6th allows it to run without complaining about it being too old but when I actually try to rip a disc, it says the evaluation period is over and it won't rip it.

I had that issue as well, but you just have to re-register with the old beta key while your clock is in the past.
After that, make sure you only start the program when you're in July, otherwise the key will "expire" again.
