And, I'm sure the intention is that the beta will end someday.

If you don't have a current version, it's hard to offer support, because it may be that the problem you experienced was fixed a year ago.

Not as fast as it used to it used to be that a new version came out before the previous version's key had chance to expire.

If it's free, why do I need a key? Again, the program changes. It's been XX hours since the key expired! Why doesn't the author jump through hoops to fulfill my need to rip TODAY?!? I do not know the answer to this, other than to say it has been this way for all the years I've been using MakeMKV, and I bought my permanent key almost 9 years ago, and there were gaps in the beta key back then, too. However, the beta key that is linked to above, DOES expire periodically, in part to make sure people remember to stay current with the beta, and in part to encourage you to buy your own permanent key, which won't expire.īuying a key means you don't have to worry about times when the beta key has expired, and when the program's author updates the message linked to at the top.
