Cannot use 2.0.0 version after entering latest key

Post by williadw »

It required me to download the latest version, which I did. Windows version.
I entered the latest key for 2.0.0 that is showing on the website here.

A) When I start the application, it says 'Your temporary key has expired and was removed. Please restart the application"

I restart it and I get: "This application version is too old. Please download the lastest version at ... blah blah blah"
I press 'OK' and the application shuts down.

I restart it and it restarts fine. I go to the About and it says it is version 2.0.0, License type:Freeware, Evaluation:Ended, Version Expires: Sat Jan 16 2077

I go to Register and put in the current license key from the website: T-vwvnrmF87JuRPLYYO8HnIrZR_LCAF7JXs9iJEm10moGpjEgkvmPTsf6Ox4BI@N5rPp
It shows me License Type: Time-limited, License Expires: 30.09.2026

I press OK and it asks me to please restart the app.

I do and it starts back from A) above and round and round we go.

Any ideas anyone?

I am also having an issue using MakeMkv. It told me the beta key expired. I went to purchase one, but it tells me purchasing is temporarily disabled. The key it says to use seem my through this loop again. I think the key was set to expire on 9/30/26. Because I used it earlier today and this evening. But now it is 2am on the forum time on 9/30/26. So I’m guessing they need to update the key’s expiration

The current beta key is always at: viewtopic.php?t=1053

However, it hasn't been updated yet. That should happen soon.

Here MakeMKV v2.0.0. (linux) says:

Lisence type: Freeware
Evaluation : Not started
This version expires : Sat Jan 16 2027 [108 day(s)]

Compiled from official sources.

I didn't enter that old BETA key and app works as it should.

I installed v2.0.0 (Windows).
I restarted the app and used it as normal, entering no key.
Works fine.
New versions have always worked from the get-go.
Try installing it again and then just use it.
