is it necessary to register mIRC? when I get connected, sometimes the mirc reg page pops up. any advice? thanks.

If you plan on using mIRC quite frequently, you should be considerate and register your copy. But, to answer your question, it is not necessary to register the program, as it will operate at full capacity. Periodically you will see a registration screen pop up to remind you to register (this of course will go away once you register and input the correct code).

Yes it is...
I am from Greece and here we use to say about support :

"Hold me to hold you ... to climb that mountain ahead"

Maybe the translation is terrible but I am sure you understand what I am saying

Take care

If you use the product, then consider supporting it's future development by registering. Perhaps if you cannot afford it, ask for someone to register it for you, as a gift. Most folks use mIRC daily, or weekly, the $20 fee is more than reasonable.

It's absolutely necessary to register the program if you continue to use it after the initial 30 days. Remember, mIRC is shareware. Just because it continues to work doesn't mean that it's free.

Please re-read the license agreement that you agreed to if you have any more questions.

well if thats the case why isnt mirc considered freeware?

It's not a good idea to tell people where to get illegal registration 'aids' on the official homepage - or anywhere for that matter, keygens for mIRC are ridiculous.

Well someone musta said something wrong LOL the post was deleted...probably wasnt that important anyways

ok thanks to all! great advice! I am planning on registering but can you tell me what are the advantages to register? is it guaranteed that I won't get akilled or k-lined, whatever? just wondering....

You posted a question which asked "why isn't it free?" earlier; simply, mIRC use to be free. It was once a hobby, but since the author, Khaled, found an actual LIFE outside of the bliss of writing mIRC (lol), and never expected it to grow so large, he wanted to quit writing it all together. Well, the idea of 'support' and a 'registration' came up, and it jingled his jangle quite well (to put it frank). Long story short, mIRC is now SHAREWARE. It's great to register mIRC because it will make Khaled feel all warm inside (actuality, if you enjoy the application, it's best to register it because you support it and the author appreciates the gesture).

Using mIRC non-stop 24/7, with all of it's great features, makes it more than worth the registration fee that you choose.

Now, to answer your next question: The real advantages within registering your copy of mIRC reflect mIRC's future. When you register, you are voicing your support to Khaled in order for him to use much more time to keep releasing newer, and better, versions of mIRC. This is a good thing, trust me. Glad to hear you decided to register!

The guarantees which are presented when registering mIRC do not include anti-K:lines or anti A:kills. These modes are set by IRC servers, and not mIRC itself. If you have been K:lined or A:killed you cannot and SHOULD NOT try to get around it. Most operators will permanently ban an ENTIRE host for avoiding bans on a server. Please know that there is MUCH A DIFFERENCE between an IRC Server (Such as: DALnet, UnderNET and EFnet) and an IRC Client (mIRC).

If you need a guarantee, well then, you can be guaranteed that Khaled will be as happy (if not more) to recieve your registration as he would to recieve a free visit to a vegetarian buffet.

In all hopes that I've given you some valuable (and exhaustingly lengthy) information, I say "Thank you for continuing to 'CONSIDER' registering mIRC." ;-)

There are no 'benefits' other than to know that you're not breaking the law each time you use mIRC beyond it's 30 day evaluation. Akills, K-lines, and such are given out by opers on a given server/network, they are nothing to do with mIRC. Providing you're on a half-decent network with responsible opers that shouldn't be a problem, since they are only used against troublemakers.

I was gonna register two days ago but I am very upset because I haven't been able to connect since then, I am a 100% dalnet chatter, is there something wrong with dalnet? waaaaahhhhhh

Go here and pick any of the several hundred posts about dalnet to find out what is wrong with it.

oh well.... I guess I'll just wait
