Now doesn’t that look pretty? Wrap things up So I bought a frame on eBay, to show off this beautiful piece of art in my office. Now, I’ve seen several examples of folks that framed their CD and/or license, and that seemed like the perfect idea to me. So, after running the installation, I could finally make this official and add my license. The disc is holding the installation source and the WinRAR key.
Since I had no integrated CD/DVD player in any of my devices, I also bought a portable/external reader. I don’t have the actual numbers, but what surprised me the most is the number of physical CDs that they ship each year. That’s the question right? How does WinRAR make money? Well, they sell a bunch of licenses to businesses on daily basis. I told them that I was surprised about the CD, and asked them how many licenses they sell each year. So I decided to write back and to come clean to the WinRAR sales team. But not long after I placed the order, I got this wonderful email:
Who orders that? So I added the CD to the basket to see if it would ever arrive. It had a checkbox to add a WinRAR Physical Delivery on CD.Īnd then I was like: nah, that’s a joke. On a bright sunny day, I headed over to the WinRAR webshop, and then I was happily surprised when I saw the order page. I added some of them to this post, and they really make me laugh.Īnd so it happened. Now, as I stated, there are a lot of jokes and memes about WinRAR. Following this test period, the user must purchaseĪ license to continue using the software. This means thatĪnyone may use the software during a test period of a maximum of 40 daysĪt no charge. The software is distributed as try before you buy.
Now, let’s back up a little, and take a look at the license agreement of WinRAR. Something you can proudly stall on the office shelf.
I actually bought my very own license last month. I have never owned a WinRAR license myself.īut that has changed. I think there are not that many people that bought a WinRAR license for their personal computer, out of principles, guilt, or even accidentally. We all know WinRAR for it’s never expiring trial period and the annoying pop-up that we have massively ignored for decades now.
