step 3 - save the activation file as "rarreg.key"

step 4 - move the activation file to winrar's installation directory


step 1 - download winrar

you must first download winrar. in order for you to do that, you go to rarlab's website here and then download winrar. there are many versions of winrar built for different OSes so pick one that is suitable for your OS. for me, I will pick the standard windows installer since I'm running windows.


step 2 - install winrar

once you have downloaded winrar, it's time for you to install winrar. double-click the winrar installer to install it.


step 3 - create a winrar activation file

this step might seem complicated but it is quite simple actually. copy-paste the activation codes right here:

or you can try...

the point is to pick one of these activation codes. after that, you paste it into notepad or any text-editing software.


step 3 - save the activation file as "rarreg.key"

after you have pasted your winrar's activation code into your text editor, safe it as "rarreg.key" (without the quotes)


note: do NOT name the activation file anything but "rarreg.key"


step 4 - move the activation file to winrar's installation directory

after you have created your winrar activation file, you move the activation file to winrar's installation directory (or in this case, winrar's installation folder). in order for you to go to winrar's installation directory you must first search the program on your windows search bar ─►click "open file location" on the search result ─► right-click the winrar's program shortcut and click "open file location" on the context menu.


after you have done all of that, you can move winrar's activation file into winrar's installation directory.

 

that's all for the tutorial folks :)
