Convert rarreg.key to rarreg.rar? #23

When you purchase WinRAR, you get a rarreg.rar file which can be opened in winrar to activate it.
How can I convert the rarreg.key that this tool generates to a rarreg.rar? Just compressing it doesn't work.

rarreg.rar is just a compressed file for WinRAR, the .key is the actual form of the license file that does the work.

You can drag rarreg.key to the WinRAR GUI window or move it to the following path

C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Roaming\WinRAR\rarreg.key

Yes, I know how to use the rarreg.key without rarreg.rar, but making a rarreg.rar would be a nice feature.

According to the official winrar video, the rarreg.key file needs to be compressed into rarkey.rar , not rarreg.rar.

Double-click the rarkey.rar file to open it and it will be automatically activated.

The winrar website gives incorrect naming information for the rarreg.rar file.
