A: Normally the license keys are delivered within 10 minutes of you placing your order. However, since the key generation system is not on our servers, delays can occur up to 24 hours to get your license key. If you have not received your license key within 24 hours, please contact us using the link on the left and reference your order number.

Q: Do I have to reinstall when I register?
A: You do not have to reinstall when you license your current version of WinRAR. You also do not have to uninstall the product when you install an upgrade. The trial version you downloaded is the full version of the product. The license key being present in the program folder will enable the remaining features not available during the trial. There is not a "licensed" and "unlicensed" version of the program itself.

Q: How much does it cost to upgrade WinRAR from an older version?
A: Free! Upgrades are provided at no additional charge. Just download and install the latest version (preserving your RARREG.KEY file). Normally you can just install the newest version right over the top of the older version without uninstalling first.

Q: What is the yearly maintenance cost for WinRAR?
A: Nothing. Unliked our competitor products, WinRAR does not have a yearly fee, and we do not charge for upgrades -- making it an even better value!

Q: What's the difference between buying and registering?
A: Registering RAR products occurs through purchase of a key file that makes your demo version of RAR into the full version.  So once you purchase a copy from us, the key file will register the software to you. NOTE: If all you need to do is extract some RAR files then download some of the free unrar utilities.

Q: Will I receive a CD from my purchase at BuyRAR.com?
A: You can optionally purchase a CD when you buy a license for WinRAR. The default method is email delivery only, and in that case you will not receive anything in the mail. If you purchased a CD, you will receive a tracking or delivery confirmation number when the product ships (usually within 1-2 business days of placing your order).

Q: If I lost my registration information, can I get a replacement key?
A: Yes. Contact the site your originally purchased it from or use the "Lost Key" link on the left menu. When we receive your request we will look through our records to find your order, so be sure to provide enough information or the delivery of your keys will be delayed. Normally the process takes a few days to send a replacement license key. It is highly recommended you backup those key files, as they are unique to you.

Q: I have several operating systems on 1 computer that I boot between.  Do I have to have a separate key for each OS?
A: No.  If you have Windows 2000, Linux, and DOS on the same computer and you boot between them, you do not need to re-register each OS.  If you had OS/2 and Windows 2000 on the same computer that you booted between, you would have to buy separate keys, as they are unique license keys.

Q: I need to buy FAR for my company. Can you provide this?
A: Yes, FAR is sold under the same terms and conditions as RAR; only pricing is different.
