Free WinRAR 3.51 – Part 2

As I mentioned yesterday, they were giving away WinRAR 3.51 for free for only 24 hours. That has commenced a couple hours ago and the site is getting hammered. To register for the free software, submit your information through this form. Apparently, they’re using this attempt to force you to subscribe to their newsletter. Good thing I have email addresses to spare ;).

Anyway, after you register, you get a email with the following:

Dear User,

Thank you for filling out our small questionaire.

In order to receive your license key file for the WinRAR 3.51 non upgradeable version, please click on the following link or copy and paste this link in the navigation/address bar of your Internet browser:

IMPORTANT: You only have two attempts to download the key using this link.

The download contains a RAR archive, including your license key. Please SAVE this archive to your disk. By opening it with double click on it’s icon, WinRAR registers your version automatically and you get the information:

For further information please read the readme.txt

Please remember that your license key file is valid for the WinRAR 3.51 non upgradeable version of WinRAR only. We recommend making a backup copy of your key file as soon as you receive it.

The link above will download a registry key you import into your system which will basically register you unlicensed version of WinRAR 3.51. I registered a couple more times to see if different people got different registry keys, but although the download link id is different (the above id has been modified), the file you download and the registry key inside is completely the same. If the link above fails, just try random ids: 13xxx or even 1xxxx and you should be able to hit one that hasn’t been used twice.

Now that you have the registry key, what do you do? Well, of course you need the software itself, which you can download at RARLab: WinRAR 3.51
