Registration and options
| |
In order for the software to be used to restore data, rather than just view it with the demo, the product must be registered (ie purchased).
Registration is controlled by the dialog box shown below that may be selected by poressing the (blue) 'Config' function on the main menu bar. There is also a short cut from the first welcome box when running in Demo mode.
The product can be purchased online www.cnwrecovery.com after it is necessary to submit the Machine ID in order to receive registration Code. The registration code is such as "7618 3200 7A00 3000 3B0C 4C96C566". This must be 'cut and paste' into the Registration Number box shown above. It is the necessary to restart the program (not the PC) before the new registration is enabled. Once restarted, it will be possible to verify the options enabled. Clicking on the check boxes will not change the selected options.
When a Dongle is used, the registration number is 'dongle'
To make entering the number by hand (cut and paste is easier though) spaces may be included between the numbers. These spaces are ignored and so are optional.
Options
CnW Software is sold with a few options, as listed below
Demo
The demo is fully functional, but does not save any files onto the hard drive. This also means that it is not possible to create a disk image file, or handle the data carving function of processing fragmented files. The demo does not have any time limitation. The demo will give a very good indication if drives and disks can be recovered. By using the log, images (normal hex dumps) of files can be viewed.
30 Day Licence
The 30 day licence is fully functional and will operate for 1 month. At the end of that period, it reverts back to the demo mode
Full licence
If both Demo and 30 day licence boxes are clear, then it is a full licence, that will work for an unlimited period of time. The program may be updated a frequently as required for the first year of purchase after which a support, update fee will be chargeable. The program will never time out, though regular updates will exist.
Raid Options
This enables the optional RAID software and can be purchased with a licence - but not part of 30 day licence.
