## 1. What is WinRAR?
|
|
|
|
WinRAR is a trialware file archiver utility for Windows, developed by Eugene Roshal of win.rar GmbH.
|
|
|
|
It can create and view archives in RAR or ZIP file formats and unpack numerous archive file formats.
|
|
|
|
WinRAR is not a free software. If you want to use it, you should pay to [__RARLAB__](https://www.rarlab.com/) and then you will get a license file named `rarreg.key`.
|
|
|
|
This repository will tell you how WinRAR license file `"rarreg.key"` is generated.
|
|
|
|
## 2. How is "rarreg.key" generated?
|
|
|
|
See [here](README.HOW_DOES_IT_WORK.md).
|
|
|
|
## 3. Use Github Actions(Error found)
|
|
|
|
2021.12.9 **A bug was found that caused the key generated by Github Actions to be invalid as well, and is being investigated**
|
|
|
|
Github Action is a CI/CD tool introduced after Microsoft acquired Github, and you can run programs on GitHub Action by following these steps.
|
|
|
|
### 3.1 Fork
|
|
|
|
**Fork** this repo.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you've forked before and I've committed new code, but you don't know how to merge the new content into your repository, then you can delete the current fork and fork again.
|
|
|
|
### 3.2 Modify info.json
|
|
|
|
Go to `keygen/info.json` and click on the edit button to edit the file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can see:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"text1": "Github",
|
|
"text2": "Github.com"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can modify the values corresponding to `text1` and `text2`:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"text1": "yourname",
|
|
"text2": "yourteam"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
It is important to note that `test1` and `test2` are **ANSI-encoded string, without null-terminator.**
|
|
|
|
Once you have finished making changes, click the **Commit changes** button and Github Actions will start automatically.
|
|
|
|
If Github Actions does not start automatically, you will need to click on the Actions page to **allow this workflows to run**, then modify and commit `keygen/info.json` again.
|
|
|
|
### 3.3 Download key
|
|
|
|
Go to the Actions page to see the status of the program.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Green means it ran successfully, yellow means it is running, red means it failed. After running successfully, open the corresponding task and select **rarreg_file** to download.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After decompression, you will get `rarreg.key`, just drag and drop it into WinRAR.
|
|
|
|
If you get an invalid key, check that the `test1` and `test2` parameters are **ANSI encoded without spaces.**
|
|
|
|
## 4. Build in Visual Studio
|
|
|
|
I recommend using the Github Actions, but you can still do your own compilation.
|
|
|
|
If you don't want to compile it yourself, you can also go to the [release](https://github.com/bitcookies/winrar-keygen/releases/) page to get `winrar-keygen.exe`.
|
|
|
|
### 4.1 Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
1. Please make sure that you have **Visual Studio 2022**. Because this is a VS2022 project. If you are still using Visual Studio 2019, you can find projects for VS2019 in the [vs2019](https://github.com/bitcookies/winrar-keygen/tree/vs2019) branch, but this branch will no longer be maintained.
|
|
|
|
2. Please make sure you have installed `vcpkg` and the following libraries:
|
|
|
|
* `mpir:x86-windows-static`
|
|
* `mpir:x64-windows-static`
|
|
|
|
is installed.
|
|
|
|
You can install them by:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ vcpkg install mpir:x86-windows-static
|
|
$ vcpkg install mpir:x64-windows-static
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. Your `vcpkg` has been integrated into your __Visual Studio__, which means you have run successfully.
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ vcpkg integrate install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
### 4.2 Build
|
|
|
|
1. Open this project in __Visual Studio__.
|
|
|
|
2. Select `Release` configuration.
|
|
|
|
3. Select __Build > Build Solution__.
|
|
|
|
You will see executable files in `bin/` directory.
|
|
|
|
### 4.3 How to Use?
|
|
|
|
Execute the following code in the terminal and configure two parameters to generate `rarreg.key`.
|
|
|
|
Here is an example use `Github` and `Github.com`:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Usage:
|
|
winrar-keygen.exe <your name> <license type>
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
winrar-keygen.exe "Github" "Github.com"
|
|
or:
|
|
winrar-keygen.exe "Github" "Github.com" > rarreg.key
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now you can see the newly generated file.
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
RAR registration data
|
|
Github
|
|
Github.com
|
|

|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Save the generated information as `rarreg.key`.
|
|
|
|
## 5. Invalid Key
|
|
|
|
Why is my `rarreg.key` invalid?
|
|
|
|
### 5.1 ANSI Encoded
|
|
|
|
`test1` and `test2` are **ANSI-encoded string, without null-terminator.**
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
winrar-keygen.exe <text1> <text2>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 5.2 Terminal Encode
|
|
|
|
[Issues #5](https://github.com/bitcookies/winrar-keygen/issues/5) Be sure to use ANSI encoding, without null-terminator.
|
|
|
|
You can refer to the Microsoft documentation: [Generation of "rarreg.key"](https://github.com/bitcookies/winrar-keygen/blob/master/README.HOW_DOES_IT_WORK.md#7-generation-of-rarregkey)

## 6. Encounter problems?
|
|
|
|
### 6.1 Feedback
|
|
|
|
If you encounter some problems, you can report on the [Issues](https://github.com/bitcookies/winrar-keygen/issues) page. There will be many enthusiastic developers or Github users to help you.
|
|
|
|
### 6.2 Security
|
|
|
|
[Issues #1](https://github.com/bitcookies/winrar-keygen/issues/1) Some Anti-Virus Software may falsely report. If you do not trust this binary executable file, your only option is to compile the code yourself.
|
|
|
|
### 6.3 Download
|
|
|
|
[Issues #4](https://github.com/bitcookies/winrar-keygen/issues/4) IDM and other download tools may have problems, please use a browser (e.g. chrome, edge) to download.
