    After trying the trial I fell in love. But the price is too high for me atm. Does anyone know if there's ways to get it cheaper? ;)

    If you cant wait for a sale, try the secondhand market. Just be sure the seller isnt scamming, the license is legit and most importantly, transfers are allowed by the developer :winker:

    Thank you for the interactive response! May I ask where I can find these markets?

    Yeah, I'd just do a search with the added "used" and/or for sale etc... there are many out there from $40 up. Depends on which version you're after. Start with spots in your local area and go from there.

    They also have a student discount, which is how I bought my license. It can only be activated in one machine at a time, tho.

    Say you wipe your windows clean because of a virus, would I have to buy a brand new license?

    I don't think so. For standard licenses you can de-authorize your machines from your user profile in their website, therefore you can register once again on the same machine or on a new one for example, so I think student licenses would work the same.

    Like Doctor_Me said, you wouldn't have to. You just need to unregister it from the old OS and register it again.

    NO links or direct references to warez are allowed on this forum... But if you search sisite you'll most likely find it.

    Disable your virus detector, its false positives.

    the reason im questioning this is because usually when downloading from k4tfile the download starts immediately. though with this release i get a warning saying "this file cannot be downloaded securely" so i am wondering if it is compromised or something?

    You don't need an extra program; download from the sister site and you'll be on the safe side. But disable Defender first, because otherwise, Defender will eat the keygens. These are always false alarms.

    If you need to download something from dubious websites, you should consider a "sandbox."
    The program will then run in the sandbox, and if a virus, etc., is present, it can't escape the sandbox and infect your system.

    It's better to make a full backup of your C:/ drive so that, in an emergency, you can completely restore your PC using a recovery disc.

    ok ill do a back up first. Any idea why this specific file is giving me a "this file cannot be downloaded securely" when all other files from k4tfile instantly start downloading?

    Do you mean Katfile? Where is the warning message coming from—your browser or Katfile?
    If you have the exact name of the file, I'll see if I can reproduce the error. Please don't provide a link, that's not allowed here.

    Sonarworks SoundID Reference v5.7.2 -
    the download file is : 240470.rar

    this is the message i get: upload_2025-3-19_13-10-4.png

    when i decide to keep it and upload it to virustotal, its flagged heavily. while many other downloads from the team are not flagged at all

    I'm using an Opera browser, and it doesn't display any error messages, and I was able to download the file without any warnings.

    Anything from Audioz, R2R, or that contains the word keygen is naturally labeled a virus or malware, etc., by reputable sources.
    The sister site is a safe site—just press the "Keep anyway" button.
