Remove Winamp Pro?
Hello.
I want to have the Free edition instead of Pro in Winamp (for personal preferences), but I don't know how to do it. I tried using an uninstaller and nothing happened. |

Winamp 5.8? there's no free/pro version anymore
Winamp 5.666 I would think you would just have to uninstall it and do a clean install, unless they save the key in the registry. Most pro features can be disabled by removing the plugins I believe.

The Winamp Pro registration data is stored in the Windows 10 registry in the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Nullsoft\Winamp" key. Save and remove this key to revert to the free version.
It will be in a similar key in other versions of Windows. Windows 10 Home 64-bit v21H2 desktop - Logitech Z906 5.1 speaker system |

Thanks for your help, but I found another way:
1) I uninstalled Winamp 5.666 with an uninstaller 2) I installed Winamp 5.5.1 3) I went to the 'Winamp Pro' category, and I chose: 'Change key' and then, remove it. 4) I upgraded to 5.666 directly 5) I re-activated it with an old bought key P.S: I did it because, I found an old Winamp key (5.621, I think), that I bought, and I wanted to see if it still works, and it works like a charm. |

I personally, don't use 5.8 because it is unstable and I know about the 'pro' removal.
I did not know about that... |
