Or you work for a company that will pay for it. I use to work for a place that had over 1000 licenses.
Why not just use 7-zip?
If I had to guess: professional support and software warranty. It’s a huge deal for a lot of companies.
A coworker once called and asked where to find 7-Zip.
Every damn variation of the name would have led a Google search to the website. But he had to call.
Funny enough, searching for winrar leads to some other site than rarlab.com so they might be stupid and have 2 sites or there is malware out there
The windows online software sources situation is crazy. Like why the hell do random websites offer downloads?
Edit: rarlabs.com redirects to rarlab.com which is the correct site. Wikipedia to the rescue
It’s such a mess now. Back when I fixed computers l (basically reformat for any software issue) someone I worked with showed me ninite, and I’ve loved it since then.
As opposed to adding a random url you grabbed from an answer on a forum and throwing that into your sources?
I just use ninite for everything like that. It’s been my homie since the early 2010s.
Wikipedia has correct URLs
Sums up the state of search engines pretty well
I really love WinRAR but I’ve switched to 7zip. I would totally pay for WinRAR but I have a LOT of computers and I’m constantly reinstalling things on many of them.
instructions unclear cant read german
Gee I wonder what “Single PC usage license” might mean in English.
Curse you, Michael Leimer!!!
