Save the generated information in **ASCII encoding** as `rarreg.key`.
### 6.4 More examples
### 6.4 More character support
Generate a UTF-8 encoded license and activate WinRAR directly.
In addition to using ASCII encoding, you can use ANSI and UTF8NoBOM to support more characters, but you will need to install [PowerShell 7.4 or later](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/install/installing-powershell-on-windows?view=powershell-7.4).
| `-Encoding` | PowerShell 5.x | PowerShell 7.4+ |
| :------------: | :------------: | :-------------: |
| ASCII | ✅ | ✅ |
| ANSI | | ✅ |
| UTF8NoBOM | | ✅ |
In PowerShell 5.x, you cannot output licenses in ANSI or UTF8NoBOM format. You must generate the content via commands, manually copy it, and save it as ANSI or UTF8NoBOM.
In PowerShell 7.4+, you can generate licenses encoded in ANSI or UTF8NoBOM:
> `utf8:` is to ensure constant character representation in WinRAR across languages.
> The UTF-8 encoded license will automatically determine whether to add the `utf8:` prefix based on the characters.
```shell
./winrar-keygen.exe "utf8:简体中文" "license" | Out-File -Encoding UTF8NoBOM rarreg.key
./winrar-keygen.exe "Github" "Single PC usage license" -a
```
./winrar-keygen.exe "utf8:Français" "license" | Out-File -Encoding UTF8NoBOM rarreg.key
Generate an ANSI-encoded license and generate a license file.
./winrar-keygen.exe "utf8:日本語" "license" | Out-File -Encoding UTF8NoBOM rarreg.key
> ANSI encoding is region-dependent on Windows. While characters in the current region may display correctly, garbled characters may still occur.
./winrar-keygen.exe "utf8:한국어" "license" | Out-File -Encoding UTF8NoBOM rarreg.key
```shell
./winrar-keygen.exe "Github" "Single PC usage license" -e ansi

Generate an ASCII-encoded license and output it only to the console.

## 7. Invalid key
## 7. Common Errors
Why is my `rarreg.key` invalid?
### 7.1 Keygen Errors
### 7.1 Character encoding
Starting with version `ver4`, Keygen has added some common error messages. Please make corrections based on the output.
`TEXT1` and `TEXT2` are required to fulfill [corresponding coding requirements](#31-Encoding).
```console
./winrar-keygen.exe <TEXT1> <TEXT2>
```
You can refer to: [Generation of "rarreg.key"](https://github.com/bitcookies/winrar-keygen/blob/master/README.HOW_DOES_IT_WORK.md#7-generation-of-rarregkey)
### 7.2 Text encoding
If you use the following command:
Use `-h` or `--help` to view the help information:
```shell
./winrar-keygen.exe "Github" "Single PC usage license" > rarreg.key
./winrar-keygen.exe -h
```
In the newer Windows 10 / 11, PowerShell will export in **UTF16-LE** format by default, which will cause the error.
### 7.2 Github Actions Errors
Please use the following command:
If you encounter an error while using `ascii` encoding, it is because you are using non-ASCII characters.
```shell
./winrar-keygen.exe "Github" "license" | Out-File -Encoding ascii rarreg.key
If you encounter an error while using `ansi` encoding, it is because the character encoding is not supported by the current Windows system. The system platform for GitHub Actions is `windows-2022-english` (ANSI code page 1252), and any non-ASCII characters will cause the process to fail.
./winrar-keygen.exe "Github" "license" | Out-File -Encoding ansi rarreg.key
./winrar-keygen.exe "utf8:Github" "license" | Out-File -Encoding UTF8NoBOM rarreg.key

| UTF8NoBOM | | ✅ |
在 PowerShell 5.x 中，你不能输出 ANSI 或 UTF8NoBOM 格式的 license，你只能通过命令生成并手动复制内容并保存为 ANSI 或 UTF8NoBOM 格式。
在 PowerShell 7.4+ 中，你可以用 ANSI 或 UTF8NoBOM 编码生成 license：
> `utf8:` 是为了保证在不同语言的 WinRAR 中做到不变的字符表示。
> UTF-8 编码的 license 将会根据字符自动决定是否添加 `utf8:` 前缀
```shell

./winrar-keygen.exe "Github" "Single PC usage license" -a

./winrar-keygen.exe "utf8:Français" "license" | Out-File -Encoding UTF8NoBOM rarreg.key
生成 ANSI 编码的 license 并生成 license 文件：
./winrar-keygen.exe "utf8:日本語" "license" | Out-File -Encoding UTF8NoBOM rarreg.key
> ANSI 编码与 Windows 的地区有关，一般当前地区的字符能够正常展示，也会遇到字符乱码问题

## 7. 无效的 Key
## 7. 常见错误
为什么我生成的 `rarreg.key` 是无效的？
### 7.1 Keygen 错误
### 7.1 字符编码不正确
从 `ver4` 版本开始，Keygen 增加了一些常见的 Error 提示信息，请根据输出信息来进行修正。
参数 `TEXT1` 和 `TEXT2` 需要满足[对应的编码要求](#31-编码说明)：
```console
./winrar-keygen.exe <TEXT1> <TEXT2>
```
具体可参考原理文档：[授权文件"rarreg.key"的生成](https://github.com/bitcookies/winrar-keygen/blob/master/README.HOW_DOES_IT_WORK.zh-CN.md#7-%E6%8E%88%E6%9D%83%E6%96%87%E4%BB%B6rarregkey%E7%9A%84%E7%94%9F%E6%88%90)
### 7.2 文本储存编码不正确
如果你使用了如下命令：
使用 `-h` 或 `--help` 来查看帮助信息：
```shell
./winrar-keygen.exe "Github" "Single PC usage license" > rarreg.key
./winrar-keygen.exe -h
```
在较新的 Windows 10 / 11 系统中，PowerShell 将默认以 **UTF16-LE** 格式导出，这将会导致错误。
### 7.2 Github Actions 错误
请指定输出编码格式，例如：
如果你使用 `ascii` 编码时发生了错误，原因是你使用了非 ASCII 字符。
```shell
./winrar-keygen.exe "Github" "license" | Out-File -Encoding ascii rarreg.key
./winrar-keygen.exe "Github" "license" | Out-File -Encoding ansi rarreg.key
./winrar-keygen.exe "utf8:Github" "license" | Out-File -Encoding UTF8NoBOM rarreg.key
```
如果你 `ansi` 编码时发生了错误，原因是因为字符编码不受当前 Windows 系统支持。GitHub Actions 的系统平台是 `windows-2022-english` （ANSI code page 1252），包含非 ASCII 字符都会失败。
### 7.3 关于简体中文版
在 [__RARLAB__](https://www.rarlab.com/) 下载的简体中文版 WinRAR 将会自带广告组件，即使使用了 `rarreg.key` 授权，广告组件依旧会出现。这是由于简体中文代理商的一些意见，RARLAB 已将简体中文安装包的公开链接更换成了带有广告的简体中文安装包。
