![]() ![]() But it's his business model and he can proceed any which way he wants, and I respect that. I don't know him or pretend to know what's going on in his mind but he is creating a situation where too many expect this to be free and, when there's a delay introducing a new free key, people start to vocally question whether the project is still viable and begin discussing alternatives. ![]() My fear for MakeMKV is not that it takes Mike time to come up with a new key but that his business model for so long has included free keys. That is the nature of this type of product. It's not 20 minutes, it's for more than 10 days now!ĭon't kid yourself, any software that smells of cracking encryption is under attack, including DVDFab if you recall, they were temporarily shut down as well a couple years back. But don't bitch if it isn't updated within 20 minutes of expiration. I've used the beta keys for years and paid nothing so this would be my way of saying "thank you" and paying retroactively for something that's served me well. I'd be disappointed if Mike stopped developing MakeMKV but I wouldn't be angry even just having plunked down $50. I also don't use MakeMKV for decryption but instead rely on RedFox AnyDVD (yes, just bought a new LTL for that as well even with the uncertainty that arose from Slysoft's demise). Even if it's never updated again, it's still worth it cause you could combine it with another decryption software and call it good if you really had to. That simply means patience is required until the new key and/or version are posted. The price you pay for using it for free is that from time to time the beta key may be late or a new version may be delayed. It's worked perfectly for me for a long time. I bought my license years ago and have no regrets at all. I personally don't rely on MakeMKV for decryption and use it strictly for its mkv making abilities.

The timing was actually the most perfect it can get to buy it. I think it kind of worked out for me in the end. Which is still excellent for non-subscription software. It was all same-day, pretty much all within 5 minutes of making the purchase.įor me, in Canada, it came up to 73.31 CAD after conversion. Much simpler than the longer routes of using other tools. I had the money for it and it was either going to be this or any one of other software (not necessarily decyption software), but I ultimately decided on this as I like using it for ripping DVD's to MKV a lot. I wish there was an option to support the project at a lower investment level. 2) I really only use the app every now and then. 1) Has anyone bought through Avangate in the past week? Are they turning around codes quickly or are we waiting on Mike for permanent codes as well? In which case, no urgency to buy right now. I am also tired of dealing with the beta codes and would be willing to support the project. Robertpetry wrote:It might be the right time to buy. And I don't have to wait for the temporary beta keys again. I've been using the betas for a number of years now, and very regularly, so decided it's time to pony up for something that has served me well (thanks, Mike!). Personally speaking, I think it's the right time to buy. Means for example for the bluray copy edition something about 76,- €! You can find an other well known software in internet, which is at moment 20% off. ![]() Has it already ever occurred that the key was a week overdue? Maybe the software is no longer being developed. ![]() Peter01 wrote:As already written here, I also think that it's not a good time to buy now. ![]()
