How do I Register or Purchase?
|
Registration is part of the purchase process. When you purchase WinRAR/RAR from any of the sites around the world, you are sent a personalized key file that you copy on your computer that tells WinRAR/RAR you are the legal owner of that software and registers it to you. If you purchase a copy, and didn't receive a key, contact the site you purchased it from, they can resend it.
WinRAR/RAR products are not free! They are shareware, which means you can try the software at no charge for 40 days, and purchase it then if you choose to keep it. If you decide you didn't like the WinRAR/RAR product you tried, then uninstall it and it costs you nothing to try.

When you contact them, make sure you provide as much information about when you purchased it, your address, email and so forth so they can locate your order, but do not include information about your credit card.

What is RAR?
|
|
RAR (or more commonly referred to as WinRAR) is a compression program offering an original algorithm. This new way to compress files provides greater efficiency, and makes smaller archives -- especially on multimedia files, and archives with many files. RAR also offers self-extracting capabilities as well as disk-spanning (or multi-volumes).
|
|
|
Another great feature about RAR is the cross-platform support. The Windows version of RAR (WinRAR) works on Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows 2003. There are also versions for the Mac, Linux, and others.

Why should I use RAR?
|
|
Why not? You can save disk space by converting your .ARJ, .ZIP, etc. archives over to RAR. RAR integrates into Windows to give you access to compression and extraction capabilities; they're just a right-click away. If you prefer command-line utilities, even the WinRAR version comes with a command-line version. In addition, WinRAR can also create .ZIP archives, so it's like having two products in one!

|
|
When you purchase RAR from our site, or others around the world you will be sent a key file that will include instructions on how to apply it to the copy of RAR you are currently using. Successful application of that key file then registers that copy of RAR to you.
