The demo program is exactly the same as the production version, with the exception that files may not be restored to the hard disk. This is an important point because if the demo can not see a disk drive, or files required, neither will the licenced version.
On startup, the Welcome screen will be displayed, and once a registration code has been received, there is a function button to enter the key value. In order to complete any registration, the 8 byte Machine ID code must be sent to CnW, which will then enable the software on current machine. There is also a direct link to the online Purchase Now page of the CnW Recovery Web site. Purchase of a licence may be made using PayPal and the registration key will be returned within a few minutes, fully automatically.
Will the program recover my files?
To get the best value from the demo, it is worth trying to recovery data from a problem disk. Any files that could be recovered can be displayed, either as a Hex dump, or in the case of pictures, a small image can be displayed. The log lists all such files, and is used to view them - even on the demo.
The easiest way to recover data is by using the Wizard but for more complex setups, the Main Recovery functions and other options will be required.
Along with recovery tools, CnW Recovery has useful tools such as sector viewing and partition analysis, and extensive logging features.
Options
The standard demo does not enable the forensic features or RAID features. If these need to be evaluated, please contact CnW for details of how this option can be viewed in demo mode.
Support questions
Any query, or question will be responded to typcially within a day, and often within the hour - depending on time zones across the world.
