Unable to enter registration key

Post by bholland »

Hey everyone. First of all, this is a great tool. I am using it with Ubuntu and I just updated it. When I opened it up if found the blue ray disk but when I told it to decrypt it said I need to enter the registration key. That is cool, I have found the key, but there is nowhere for me to enter it. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
new guy

Sorry, I think I explained it wrong. From further research, I do not have the file or help menu's available at the top of the GUI. I've uninstalled and re-installed but I still have no menu option to enter the registration code. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.

As I recall, the registration key is entered into a control file for Linux, not through the Help/Register menu like Windows and OS X. Checking my Linux install (rather old), it was in my home directory, named "makemkv.reg", and it contains just the text of the key.

I'm running Debian, my key is working and located in ~/.MakeMKV/settings.conf

Looks like this :

app_Key = "<key_goes_here>"
