    PC Welt (German PC World magazine) is giving away free licenses for WinRAR 3.62 (supports multi-core CPUs and Windows Vista). Thanks Slickdeals.net

    1. Start here to request the license key file, enter your information, and select Anderes Land (Other Country)
    2. Once you receive a confirmation email, click on the second link and download the key file
    3. Download version 3.62 of the application and install
    4. Copy the key file you received in step 1 in the folder you installed the application in step 2
    (most commonly, "C:\Program Files\WinRAR\")

    Note, registration site is under heavy traffic and may feel slow to respond. Please be patient.

    I know this is a double post, but this deal is too good to pass up.

    x2 I switched to 7-zip and never went back. Tried winzip, winrar, winace..I like 7zip the best so far. And yes its free! :)

    On topic..i got the 'not offered in your country' message.
