Perhaps he should just ban the users who start these threads constantly, whine and cry like pathetic children and then state they won't financially support him but instead will pay for some other software when we all know they will be here taking the beta key when it's updated and continue to use the functions of MakeMKV. But continuing to act as some of you do I can see MakeMKV disappearing forever and I wouldn't blame Mike for doing so. With the current exchange rates and the continued generous offering by the developer to keep his beta free I'll suffer the horror that is waiting a few days or changing my system date.Įach and every time the beta key expires there's a ton of whiners who show up crying about it like little children. If the project ever goes non-beta to a finished paid program I'll happily pay. A blip on the radar gone as fast as it appears.

This slight inconvenience is nothing to me. It takes 20 seconds to adjust my system date, start MakeMKV, then put my system date back to normal. I've used MakeMKV just about every day since the end of May. Crying that the free software, you've used for how long, requires a new key every few months and it takes a few days or even a few more to get that key is so utterly childish and pathetic. By repeatedly expired keys that make the program for days or weeks useless, I feel blackmailed and compelled for paid version. īut the way he has chosen, is for me the most unclear and worst. Or a freeware with limited functionality and a payware for more functionality. Or like I wrote, a testing period and then become payware. I would find it better, if he let it in always functionaly freeware (without keys!) and let the people spend (especially when he wants to let it always in beta state). Perhaps precisely because he has only irregular time for the project. Speaking pay, paying for a beta?! The developer will have his reasons why he lets the software in this state. Or just plainly say, 30-day trial period, then has to be paid. Then he should think about other solutions for more permanent functionality. If the developer does not just regularly has time to take care of his software, he should not interrupt the functionality by expiring keys.

Even freeware ('All features (including Blu-ray decryption and processing) are free during BETA.') should work, otherwise it makes no sense.
