Latest MKV for Windows saying it's too old to run

Post by PixelSurfer »

I've just downloaded MKV 1.10.2 win directly from the download button on the Makemkv website. When I run it I get a message to download the latest version..? So i'm going around in circles because as far as I can see, this is the latest version? I have used MakeMKV before on another machine, so have gone through this update process before and have never had a problem.

Can anyone help?

The key that is included in the download expired at the end of November. A newer one can be found here: http://makemkv.com/forum2/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1053

You will have to set your system date back to 11/25 to allow MakeMKV to start, then put the new key in under Help->Register. Once MakeMKV is running, you can put the date back to today.

Hi, I had the same problem today. i downloaded the installer, then set my system time to July 4th, 2016, and it was able to install.
MKV folks, please update your current installer to reflect the need for an extension of the beta date.

Thanks.
