I just said goodbye to WinZip this morning. Once again, WinZip has sent me a code that doesn’t work without me going through hoops to get things activated. But this time around I can’t even activate the software by removing the application and reinstalling it because it would seem that the download for the correct version of the application I need to reinstall doesn’t exist anymore.
As it turns out, Windows 11 supports the TAR extension, the GZ extension that I work with as far as web hosting is concerned, and ZIP. The only extension I really need to work with for file and directory compression is the ZIP extension, which Windows has always supported. So, all in all, “Killing my WinZip subscription is no great loss”!
