On the purchase page, https://www.makemkv.com/buy/ , it has a note:
That key runs through the end of July.Due to some technical issues, one cannot purchase MakeMKV for a moment. You have to use it for free

Doing so opens the beta key page - is there any ETA on when we'll be able to purchase a key again?mike admin wrote: Wed Sep 23, 2026 9:39 am The right way to buy a license is using Help->Purchase in program

Re: issue with buying a license
You need to install latest version (2.0.0) for that.

I also tried to buy a license. I have installed latest (2.0.0) version and that just opens the beta key page.

Hello Mike,
On Linux I still get sent to the beta key page. No idea about Windows but I will try it soon.

Re: issue with buying a license
On Windows, aside from the fact that I am getting the same crash as the Mac and Linux users (the one that occurs when you open an ISO file or disc, and I can confirm the crash occurs on Linux as well), I still get sent to the page with the beta key.

Re: issue with buying a license
Do you still have access to the Windows computer, so you can read the key?
If so, go the Help->Register, and copy the key from there. The hard part is getting it copied to the Linux box, then pasting it in in the same place...
