I've been a long-time user of mIRC, appreciating its reliable performance and versatility. However, the recent decision to end its lifetime license agreement feels like a cash grab and a betrayal of loyal users. Many of us invested in the software with the understanding that we would have lifetime access. Now, being forced into a subscription model or one-time payments for new versions feels unfair and disregards the commitment we made. It's frustrating to see a company prioritize profit over its dedicated user base. There are plenty of free alternatives out there that offer similar functionality without these unexpected costs.

Install from the command line

  • winget install -e --id mIRC.mIRC

Be careful what you paste into a terminal. Check what a command installs before running it.
