1.18.1-Win too old?

Post by oms-muc »

Hi.
I'm getting the above error when I start 1.18.1 on Windows.
Anyone else affected as well?

Usually means you're using an expired key - the one included IN the file expired last month, and you need to use the one in this message to update it.

When you have a permanent key, you shouldn't see this again. Back before MakeMKV did dynamic updates for things like keys, changing the program out periodically was more important.

The problem is that you can't do anything because when you accept the error message is closes the application.

I did an uninstall to see if would wipe the existing install, but after reinstalling it I still can't run it cuz it's too old.

You have to do the date trick, then grab a key from the key thread, then you can update the key and restart it to get it to work.
