Old version problem. The beta key does not work (?)

Post by balthazar70 »

Hi guys, I haven't been able to use MakeMKV for a few days now. Same problem that others have encountered with the old version.
I tried using the key found on a specific page of the website (I think it's the beta key? https://www.makemkv.com/buy/)
But the code tells me it's invalid. Does anyone have a working key?
Thanks

Latest beta key can always be found here... MakeMKV is free while in beta

Did you obtain the beta key posted at MakeMKV is free while in beta?

If not, then you do not have a current beta key.

Using the "buy" link, you should have received a permanent key. The delay in getting those went away about a week ago.

Thank you all. The key now works.
Evidently, the key suggested on the page I mentioned is not the correct one.
Thank you again!

Hi there, I have a similar question. The MakeMKV app on my Macbook Pro says the key is valid until the end of January, 2026. It's about that time soon. Does anybody know what we need to do to keep using the app beyond January? Thank you.

If you don't intend to buy a key, then you will have to wait until the author re-issues the beta key (link posted above).
