       Information for registered users of RAR 2.00 - 2.50

   WinRAR and Rar for Linux versions 2.60 and above are registered with
a new, very secure, AV registration seal. The main advantage of this
new authenticity verification code is a significant increase in
the strength of the registration code and thus it's use as a means
of identification of the origin of a sealed archive.

   Unfortunately this also means that the old registration keyfiles
will not operate with the latest versions of Rar-Linux and WinRAR and
thus all keyfiles must be changed. This is a cost-free process to the
registered user. Just write to support@rarlab.com and provide as much
data about your old registration as you have (key, user name,
approximate date). Please note that your data will be checked against
our users database, so it is senseless to send fake keys produced
by different "key generators".
