Free Licensed Version of WinRAR 3.51

If you hate “register now” window from WinRAR then today you can get full licensed version of WinRAR 3.51! However, this version is not upgradeable. To get the licensed version, click here and follow the directions. But if you do not want to go through the hassle of registering and giving out your mailing address then here is the direct link.

If you don’t already then download and install WinRAR 3.51. You can check the version of your WinRAR by going to Help –> About WinRAR.

After you install WinRAR 3.51, then open “rarkey.rar.”

The “rarreg.key” is not a Windows registry key file, even though it has the “.key” file extension. It’s a simple text file that WinRAR looks for in C:\Program Files\WinRAR (or wherever you installed it.) Double-clicking it will do nothing.

You should copy or move it to C:\Program Files\WinRAR or alternately, if you open “rarkey.rar” (the RAR archive containing rarreg.key), then the key gets automatically installed.
