So you're implying that the program executes. Try putting keydb.cfg in $HOME/.MakeMKV. Anyhow, good luck.

What I found personally is that I needed to make sure the time stays "wrong" and won't update again while MakeMKV is running / reading disc / decrypting.
Other than that - it works great !

Of course, now that the new key is out - this is moot .. until September at least ;)

I installed the MakeMKV-Loader yesterday or the day before, and now my PC is swarming with viruses. Thank you, I guess I'll spend the night doing a complete reinstall of my system.

You're right, I did not install anything, just downloaded it from your Google Drive and ran it. Anyways, my F-Secure scanner said it was a virus. I ran the scan a few more times, and let it clean the folder MakeMKV-Loader was in, and now it seems everything's OK. But I dare not run the loader again.

Windows Security barked about it, but I suspect it was because it was unsigned, rather than anything malignant? Just buy a key & avoid this sort of madness. :)

You, too, are right: I really should buy a key.

After having to make the loader just for my personal use, I have also decided to buy a key hahaha! I'm now the proud owner of a permanent key
