once downloaded, I can't get the link to extract the file. It says the link has expired
Expired download links on the resource page are usually just a time-limited token, not a lost purchase — so the first thing to try is re-opening resource #628 from the forum and clicking download again while logged in under the same account. Grab the file straight away after the click; if you wait or share the URL to another device/app, the token often lapses before the transfer finishes.
A few things worth checking before asking for a new link:
- Log in first, then hit download — opening the link from an email or a browser where you aren't signed in will fail the same way.
- Use a normal browser session, not a download manager or a link-saver app, since those can hold the URL past its expiry.
- Don't reuse a link from an earlier session or from another user's post; those are already dead.
- Check thread #2192 for a refreshed post from Bin before assuming the resource itself is broken.
If a fresh click from the resource page still returns an expired link, that's on the distribution side and can't be fixed from here — post the exact time you tried and the error text, and ask Bin/admin to reissue the download link for your account. They can regenerate it; nobody in the thread can.
On the activation side, key issuance stays with Bin/admin as well, so include your registration name and HWID with that request rather than expecting a key in the thread.
