X-Ways
Forensics Dongle
As a genuinely licensed user of X-Ways
Forensics, you are provided with a small sophisticated USB hardware
device that unlocks the software. Currently (March 2009) dongles are
mailed by us on these weekdays: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.
Our dongle has the following
advantages:
-
The dongle driver does not need to be
installed under 2000/XP/2003 Server/Vista, and it is already
included in Windows 98
SE/Me. No reboot is required after attaching the dongle. Since X-Ways Forensics does not need to be
installed either, that means you can run X-Ways Forensics directly
on a live machine from media such as a CD or USB stick, without
unnecessarily destroying data by overwriting free space on the
subject drive, without unnecessary changes to the system registry,
etc.
-
The dongle does not act as a USB
mass storage device, but as a human interface device (HID), just like
a USB mouse. Like that, the dongle usually is not affected by
USB port security locks enforced by administration.
-
The software may be installed on
several of your computers at the same time even if you only own a
single license, for your convenience. Attaching the dongle renders
an installation executable. A dongle can be quickly exchanged
between different computers.
-
Your license is represented
by a physical object simple to connect to your system. Install
X-Ways Forensics, plug in the key and everything works. This
simplifies matters compared to previously installing and then
making sure you have the correct license codes placed in the
correct directory.
-
You can store textual information inside the dongle from within X-Ways
Forensics. Use this to have notes always available when working
with X-Ways Forensics or simply to personalize your dongle with
your name and address. The dongle could thus be a good place to
store some hints, best-practice procedures or the like you wish
to keep handy when using X-Ways Forensics.
-
The dongle helps us to protect
against software piracy and consequently to keep prices
reasonably low.
Weight: approx. 7 g ~ 110 grains ~
1/4 ounce per pc Dimensions: 5.3 × 1.6 × 0.7 cm or 2.07 × 0.62 × 0.37 inches Color: green
As a licensed user of X-Ways
Forensics until further notice you will continue to have the option to run
WinHex with the same full functionality as X-Ways Forensics, plus
the ability to edit disk sectors, with a special WinHex version that
also requires the dongle.
Please note that we will replace
malfunctioning dongles (i.e. errors not related to a loose
connection at the USB port) at no cost if sent back to us.
Physically damaged dongles can usually be replaced for a reasonable
fee if sent back to us. Please note that we
will not replace lost or stolen dongles. To receive another dongle
you need to purchase another license.
