WinRAR is giving out free licenses today!

Ran across this a bit earlier today and though I would share...

A good deal (free!) on my favorite compression software!

Hmmm.... Seems like the mysql database has been overloaded due to the huge number of form submissions.... Care to share the link for the download?

I'm still trying to get mine also! It seems there was a lot more interest than they were expecting, the site is completely overloaded!

I've managed to get mine. I've uploaded it FileFactory.

Download WinRAR 3.51 here.

Nice find. WinRAR is an awesome compressor/decompressor.

May I also highly recommend 7zip. www.7zip.org which is Open Source.

GREAT post, Mad1!!

thanks for the heads up. this may be a silly question, but after i've downloaded and installed it, is there anything else i need to do so that after 40 days it doesnt' stop working? or do i just disregard the warning that pops up. thanks.

Ok, so I downloaded it from filefactory and it said, "Correct Registration. Thanks for your support." So, is that it? It just automatically and correctly (legally) registered my copy of Winrar?

okay, nevermind. i did the same as trashman and got the same message. i suppose thats it?

Thanks for the tip Donovan, and thanks for the easy downloadfix gregw

got my free winrar, took a while.

did you download the reg pach from winrar to register winrar.

thanks.

Thanks for the heads-up on this free deal and thanks for putting that copy of the reg key on filefront!

OK - just so I know what to do - Is the download already registered? Can someone advise?

The special rarreg.key is the same for everyone so go ahead and use that filefactory link if you can't get into the winrar site. They completely underestimated the demand for this offer and the site has been virtually unusable since. They should have just distributed this to all the major download sites since everyone is getting the exact same reg file.

Or maybe they were hoping for it!

Winrar works great

Thanks for the headsup and for saving the key

Thanks for providing file and reg key!

Are you able to download the file key from file factory without registering to the site? I don't see how and I have tried to register and was told a confirmation email was being sent but it hasn't yet in over a half hour.

Thanks for sharing I used to have a previous version of WinRAR a few years ago and today I installed it again. Works great and best of all : it's for free
