Most of the software solutions that we buy at the moment, the we buy in its digital version through the Internet. Whether using the official website of its developer or that of any other distributor, we buy all kinds of software that we download directly.
On many occasions it can also happen that we download a trial version to take a look at that program. Later we can acquire and pay for its license to be able to use it forever. A clear example of all this can be found in the very Microsoft Windows operating system. But along these same lines we are going to focus on software that could be considered mythical and that has been with us for decades.
Over the years it has become one of the main proposals in the compression and decompression of files, we refer to WinRAR. This is a program that has been with us for a long time, offering its services to millions of users around the world. Although at first it is paid, we can manage it in a simple way so as not to have to pay a single euro and totally legal. However, its usage may soon drop significantly, especially among Windows 11 users.
The main reason for all this is that Microsoft is going to offer native support on your operating system to work with these archive formats, .RAR, without the need for additional software. This is a functionality that is already in the testing period and that will reach all users of the latest version of Windows shortly.
How to buy original WinRAR on CD
However, this is an application that still offers us the curiosity that we can purchase officially in CD format. Obviously, we can also, as its developers offer us, download the application from its official website in digital format. But as we told you, either out of nostalgia or curiosity, we still have the possibility of acquiring WinRAR in CD format, as before.
This is a possibility that the developers of the popular file compressor officially present to us and that we can comfortably receive at home in this physical format. Its price is something less than 40 euros right now and we can even purchase a WinRAR license for multiple users. Obviously, its operation is the same as if we bought the digital version, but with the difference that here we will have the CD with the program that we can save for posterity.
In addition, all this is carried out from the official website of the developer of the file compressor and we can carry out the payment with total security. We can even use the secure payment platform, PayPal, and receive the CD with the program at home in a matter of days. It is very probable that RarLab does not intend to do business with this possibility of purchase, but to offer a curious and sometimes endearing alternative, if some of its clients so wish.
