0 out of 30 day trial after install of 1.7.2?

#1 Post by ottawaxblade » Sat Feb 25, 2012 5:09 pm

Hello,

I was recently running version 1.7.1 with over 20 something days left of my trial and decided to upgrade to 1.7.2.
After installing it and trying to use the new version, I'm being told that there are 0 out of 30 days left from my trial.
It's still allowing me to make MKVs (actually just in the middle of trying one right now). Not sure if it will complete or not but thought to post here anyways in the meantime.

Is there a beta key that is supposed to be issued for this latest version?

Current beta key is only valid for a few more days, but -

Did this error happen on 64-bit Windows?
Directory of C:\Program Files (x86)\MakeMKV
...
02/09/2012 03:26 AM 137,216 libmakemkv.dll
12/23/2011 01:06 AM 259,072 libmakemkv64.dll
..
Note that libmakemkv64.dll is older. It's the one from 1.7.0. It looks like the developers either forgot to re-build it when they created the 1.7.2 installer or haven't included it in the installer.

If you run MakeMKV 1.7.2 on 32-bit Windows it starts OK without entering a key. Likewise, you can use the 32-bit command-line program (makemkvcon.exe) on 64-bit Windows, but makemkvcon64.exe complains that it's too old. With the beta key, when you launch MakeMKV 1.7.2 on 64-bit Windows it says "MakeMKV v1.7.0 win(x64-release) started" and "The new version 1.7.2 is available for download at http://www.makemkv.com/download".
