WinRAR 3.80 Free Registration Key

WinRAR is one of the most commonly used program from compressing files into zip or its proprietary rar format. Few months ago there was an offer to get 3.51 legit key. Now the similar offer is being made by PC-WELT magazine but for German Users only and for WinRAR 3.80. Even though it's only for German people, but users across globe could be benefited from this offer by using some valid German proxy.

The offer is valid until 15/3/2010. And you could download your key till 30.09.2010.
Note that it doesn't mean that the key would work till 30/9/2010 but you could download your key by providing your email address till 30/9/2010 as said in Step 9 below. After this date keys will be deleted from their server.


Here are the steps:

1) Either use "Network Settings" from firefox to use a German proxy or use FoxyProxy.
2) The proxy that worked for me was "217.160.129.6" and Port: "3128".
3) Visit http://covermount.win-rar.com/pcwelt0310/
4) If you are using valid German proxy then you will get a page like this

 

 else you will find a page saying 

"Please note: This offer is not available in your country!"

5) Use your name and any email address. I prefer using 10minutemail instead of using primary email for offers :P

6) Press the button

7) If successful, you will get a page like this.

8)  Visit your email and check for a mail similar to this one. It might be in your spam folder unless you are using temporary mail :)

 

9)You will get a link similar to this one for your key

http://covermount.win-rar.com/pcwelt0310/download.php?email=yourmail@yourhost.com

Open that link and you will be at this page. Click the link to download your Genuine key for WinRAR 3.80.

Save the key to Desktop or some folder.

10) Download your copy of WinRAR 3.80 from 

http://rarlabs.com/rar/wrar380.exe

or use Google to find a copy and install it.

11)Now open the rar file with key. WinRAR will recognize the registration data and install it. If WinRAR doesn't recognize that extract the rarreg.key to WinRAR installation directory.

12) Enjoy your genuine and free WinRAR 3.80.

BTW there is a valid keygen since 3.80 by FFF but that's beyond the scope of this post. You could google for it though ;)
