WinRAR?
3 comments

I still don't know how that dude makes money. People use my software multiple times a day, so the nag is quite annoying. I need WinRar once in a few months, maybe.
I stopped pretty much since 7zip been a thing
Government and corporate licenses, mostly.
Corporate.

Though if my memory servers me right one time I bought it for a staff of the site which has.. quite dubious legal position by hosting the abandonware. Of course it was technically a breach of contract because there were multiple people who could use it, it was still one legal license more.

And mIRC.
For a while, I got around the nag by just never closing mIRC. :-D

After almost 20 years of using it, though, I thought "You know...this guy deserves his $20" and paid for it.

Sublime Text too
