### 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).

| 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.

## 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
