PC World Magazine in Germany (PC Welt) is giving away a free, legal, license to WinRAR 3.62 (which normally costs $29)

(instant) license request: https://covermount.win-rar.com/pcwelt0508/
(select Anderes Land for country - last one) Use a disposable email address if you have one.

When you get the email, the download link for the registration key is the SECOND url in the email.

Copy the rarreg.key to your C:\program files\winrar folder

WinRar 3.62 author site, direct download: http://www.rarlab.com/rar/wrar362.exe

Hey, thanks for the tip k8UndeadFox. I followed your instructions and had no problems installing and activating WinRAR. I have wanted a program that would allow me to create .rar files for a while but was not sure I really wanted to buy WinRAR. So now I do not have to.

Thanks,

Jaddis

Thanks K8.. I've used WinRar for years. Even though my copy said unregistered, it still kept on running and running without a registration, but this is a newer version. Got the key right away in an email, luckily you told what to do since I can't read it! LOL

graylox, even tho' you don't get it registered it still might continue to work. My older version (that I replaced with this) was never registered, and I've used it for years and years.

Just got mine . . . couldn't open the keyfile, moved it to WinRar folder, as directed . . . installed program, said "trial" so I went into the WinRar folder, found the stack of books icon that reads "RareKey WinRar Archieves" . . . clicked on that and now the program IS registered (to the mag)
Thanks for the tip.

Thanks, I have 3.71 so I had to uninstall it then reinstall it. Thanks to K8UndeadFox and Pc Welt. Do we have to reboot to use the license?

This is funny. After downloading the registration for WinRAR, I noticed that the file was a .rar file. When I clicked to unzip it, SecureZip popped up! However, when I went into SecureZip to un zip the .rar file, my PC wouldn't do the job and gave me a warning about the file! So I just deleted the thing. After all, if SecureZip can handle .rar files, then I really see no need in even having WinRAR....registered or not.

A better alternative (IMO) to file compression is Stuffit available from Smith Micro. It can unzip winrar and many more zipped files. Compression rates are second to none. It's one of the best utilities I've bought in a long while, and I've had winrar for years now. Check it out at:

Okay, I know it's not free, but sometimes you have to pay for quality software. :) Though if you can't afford to buy stuffit, this offer is brilliant. Thanks K8

To clarify my above posting....it wasn't SecureZIP that wouldn't unzip the .rar file, it was one of my programs on my PC that protect it that gave me the warning. SecureZIP will unzip .rar files, so I no longer need WinRAR.

Graylox,

Just wondering...are you still waiting?
When you register(using the license request link) you will receive an email with a link to download the reg file.

Winrar is one of my favorite programs.
Thanks Kate.

Creamy you are right, I needed some beautysleep.
I'll give it a new try with another email address. But I'm not sure, if I really need it, 7zip served me well all the time.

I get the same "not available in your country"
I then used the link "k8" sent and it's not loading at all.

Any other suggestions?

Many thanks

Hmmmmm maybe the reg codes are all unique, and it checks to see if it's already been used. In which case I don't have an answer. Unless I send away for another.... now there's an idea, I'll do that calmier. Then let you know on forum that I've got it, but you better be quick downloading it because otherwise someone else will get it first!!

K8

P.S. damm, I'm getting that same message myself now, well it looks like the party is over :(

OOOOOHHH I don't like being beaten, does anyone know of a way that you can fool that site into thinking you are browsing it from Germany? There must be a way.

---------------EDIT----------------

Found something on http://club.drivenqa.com/forum/topic/show?id=751045%3ATopic%3A6242

"If you are testing over the internet, you could try to identify publicly available proxy-servers in specific countries and view the website via these proxy-servers. This would fool the site into thinking the request was originated from the country the proxy server is hosted in. However there are security concerns with using such an approach (you never know who is monitoring these proxy servers)".

many thanks K8, I'm still in the process,
so far I've been told my email was previously used,
even though I'd never contacted that site until now. :-)

tried using the proxylord.com a second time with another email
and it's been accepted.

Now I had to copy and paste the responses , using google translate, to know that now I'm to wait for the link.

this is the response I received:
WinRAR Covermount Registrierung erfolgreichVielen Dank! Ihre Registierung war erfolgreich.

Sie erhalten innerhalb der nächsten 24 Std eine E-Mail mit einem Link, wo sie ihren Schlüssel herrunterladen können.

Falls Sie diese E-Mail nicht innerhalb der nächsten 24 Stunden erhalten, kontaktieren Sie bitte support@win-rar.com.

and the translation:

got my first email, requesting I confirm my newsletter subscription.
and that email was in english.

I may be back for more instruction.

Many thanks
Hope I receive the link and know how to install the program any the 'reg key"
