WinRAR 3.62 free license released

http://forums.slickdeals.net/showthread.php?t=811782

PC World Magazine in Germany (PC Welt) is giving away a free, legal, license to WinRAR 3.62
(which normally costs $29)

The last free giveaway of WinRar was 3.5 (2 years ago)
so this will upgrade you a little (with multi-core support, etc)
German key works fine in english version.

Technically they are all the same key but I won't post the key directly, only their registration form to be safe. It needs your email to send the URL to download the key (I realized afterwards I could have used a temp email, oh well)

(instant) license request: https://covermount.win-rar.com/pcwelt0508/
(select Anderes Land for country - last one)

When you get the email, the download link is the SECOND url in the email.
Copy the rarreg.key it downloads into your c:\program files\winrar\ folder

WinRar 3.62 author site, direct download: http://www.rarlab.com/rar/wrar362.exe

No love for the yanks, eh?
Oh well, 7zip works for me.

Since that slickdeals thread has the key posted in it anyway its love for everyone now

A year ago I'd jump on this, but since then, I've discovered IZarc, a free un/compressor that works pretty much the same as WinRAR. I think it also supports more file formats, but I'm not sure.

thx for that info
