Troubleshooting Program Activation

Login: [the email address used in your purchase]
Password: [if you do not know your password, use the "send me my password" link]

 
+ Activation: Max Activations Reached

A single Standard License of Recover My Files can be used to activate the software on two computer systems owned by the purchaser, e.g. a desktop and a laptop computer.

Recover My Files is "hardware locked" to a computer onto which it is installed. Each time the license is used on a new computer (with a different hardware ID) it counts as an additional activation. When the number of available activations is used, the "Max Activations Reached" message is displayed. This is an anti-piracy measure designed to stop a license of the software being unlawfully activated on multiple computers.

You may also receive this message if:

a) you have changed or added new hardware to your existing PC;

b) you have upgraded your computer and reinstalled Recover My Files software.

In this instance, please contact technical support to request additional software activations.
