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 and then you will get a license file named rarreg.key.

This repository will tell you how WinRAR license file "rarreg.key" is generated.

See here.

If you don't want to compile it yourself, you can also go to the release page to get winrar-keygen.exe.

1. Please make sure that you have Visual Studio 2019 or the higher. Because this is a VS2019 project.

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:

   $ 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

   $ vcpkg integrate install

   successfully.

1. Open this project in Visual Studio.

2. Select Release configuration.

3. Select Build > Build Solution.

You will see executable files in bin/ directory.

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.
