    Probably one of the most pirated software ever

    I also have a licence, but don't use it because I dropped Windows. :)

    @NeatNerdPrime What else? 7zip's UI is an eyesore in comparison.

    A winrar license is a funny gift to a coworker or friend. You're sure he doesn't have it

    @asgs point is that you don't have to pirate it right? The free version does its thing do you don't need to buy it? Thought that that was the joke

    @retoor The free version is time limited, only that it doesn't try to enforce it. That was one of the reasons why I bought a licence although I already had a working, but illegal key.

    @retoor well, I always felt bad for Winrar for two reasons

    Like @FastNop said, it doesn't enforce anything. Just a quiet harmless popup reminding you that the trial period is over

    And it was the most wildly pirated software ever at some point. Every one was fighting to save a few tens of MBs on the Internet and it was so easy for the uploaders and downloaders alike

    I use it daily, but I bought it as a joke.

    One thing I also bought that was long due was an IDM license. It's like $20 for a lifetime. I pirated it for a decade.

    I almost bought it for 9eur, but my discount link expired. Oh well. I don’t have a way of running it anyway.

    Also, tar gz is definitely comparable.

    Sorry, that must suck. Did you try to refund it?

    You could have donated the money to poor kids in Africa

    Was about to buy beyond compare any really good free alternatives?
