    Damn, can’t even remember when i installed winrar the first time but all i know is that i had a windows xp machine. This might be my sign to actually pay for the damn thing lol.

    I actually bought the license last year. I haven’t used it because I’ve been using pirated WinRar since I was a kid.. But their social media team is funny and I thought they deserved it

    You people have Stockholm syndrome, it’s not possible you all keep using winRAR when other alternatives exist

    Finally I bought a key a few years ago because I use Winrar intensely. Nothing terribly expensive. I’m even now enjoying the latest version. Good investment, and it helps the devs.

    I bought a license a few years back. For all the use I got out of it, they earned it. I don’t even use Windows much and never really needed it on Linux.

    7-zip is all you need and is free.

    I would listen to the thread and update to the latest version and wait until it threatens me again.

    I feel like I should finally kick them some money since I’ve been using them almost 30 years but 7-Zip is a better overall program. Not to mention that Windows has built-in RAR support.

    Nostalgia … Spy-Bot Search and Destroy is best girlfriend … or something like that, for years they had a 20k cash prize hidden in the EULA until someone finally found it

  12. I still have a copy of winzip 7 that still runs just fine

    I just use win11 default unpacker if it fails I use 7zip, I’m not unzipping huge files mind you so speed doesn’t matter

  14. Least_Sun7648

    I’ve been using WinRAR since Windows 3.1

    Never pay for it

    I just use 7zip, although now windows has it built in so it’s not nessisary anymore.

    Just use Nanazip, no point of winrar anymore.

    Oops, I downloaded 7-zip! Nobody tell WinRAR

    On my PC, for some strange reason, I’ve found that WinRAR actually extracts and compresses faster than 7-zip, so I am sticking with my nagware.

    ignore. or use 7zip. i’ve been using 7zip for a long time. it’s open source.
