License
The software is distributed as "try before you buy"; it may de jure be used without charge for 40 days, and de-facto indefinitely. In China, a free-to-use personal edition has been provided officially since 2015.

Although archiving with the RAR format is proprietary, RarLab supplies as copyrighted freeware the C++ source code of the current UnRAR unpacker, with a license allowing it to be used in any software, thus enabling others to produce software capable of unpacking, but not creating, RAR archives.

RAR for Android is free of charge. It displays advertisements; for a payment they can be disabled. A license for WinRAR does not provide ad-suppression for RAR for Android.
