5.1 Software Key Activation – How it works

A license of Recover My Files is sold with a software activation key. The key is valid for activation on two computers (e.g. a desktop and a laptop). For more information on license options, see 4.2, “Types of License”.

Recover My Files uses a hardware lock activation system. Each computer is identified to the GetData activation server by a 'hardware ID', a unique number calculated using specific internal hardware components of the pc.

The license may be installed an unlimited amount of times on an activated computer. Even if it is necessary to enter the key into the software again, it does not count as activation (as long as the hardware ID does not change).

Maximum Activations Reached

When an attempt to activate a license on a third computer is made (i.e. a computer with a new hardware ID), the activation server will return the message 'max activations reached'.

Moving a Software License to Another Computer

To move a software key to another computer it is necessary to deactivate and existing installation (if both activations have been used) in order to free a license.

To de-activate the software on your computer, please follow these instructions (an Internet connection is required):

1. Download and run the GetData License Manager from http://download.getdata.com/support/LicenseManager.exe
2. In the left hand column of the License Manager click on the picture of the 'GetData Virtual CmStick'.
3. Under the Product list you should see an entry for Recover My Files. Click on it with your mouse to highlight it.
4. Press the 'Delete' button. A confirmation message will appear 'The LicenseManager is now going to communicate with GetData License servers to update your dongle(s)'. Click OK to proceed.

The 'Debug Log' tab will report the status. A successful removal is identified by 'Update Success!'. When you return to the 'Dongles' tab, the software should no longer appear under products.

If software activation does not provide enough flexibility, the Technician license is the best option. In addition to the two software key activations, a USB hardware activation dongle is provided. The dongle has its own key making the licenseportable as the dongle can be moved from PC to PC. See the information about the Technician license below.

5.2 Online Activation

Activate Online where the computer on which the software is being installed is connected to the internet.

5.2.1 Troubleshooting online activation

The details are validated by the activation server and the file 'GetData.GDActResponse' is returned to you.

Save 'GetData.GDActResponse' and take it back to the offline computer on which you will be activating the software.

Once the 'GetData.GDActResponse' file is back on the offline computer, click the Import button to import the file into the software. The software is now activated:

Troubleshooting offline activation

Some web browser security settings may prohibit the upload or download of the 'GetData.GDActRequest' and/or 'GetData.GDActResponse' files. If upload or download is blocked:

Encrypting files with EFS (Encrypting File System), Bitlocker, or other encryption methods can greatly improves the data security. But how to decrypt encrypted files without a password, or certificate? Follow the encrypted file recovery tips here to troubleshoot.

Questions About How to Decrypt Files

Q1: 'I recently encrypted some of my files in Windows 10 and kept my encryption key in my Documents folder in C drive. I reinstalled Windows OS the other day, and the encryption key was lost due to formatting. Can I decrypt the file without the certificate?'

Q2: 'Unknown viruses encrypted all files and folders on my USB pen drive. I was threatened to pay Bitcoin to recover encrypted files, which I don't want to. I need a way to decrypt encrypted files without a password.'

Overview of Encrypted File Recovery

Sometimes we tend to protect privacy by using some file encryption tools, such as EFS (Encrypting File System), which provides the core file encryption technology used to store encrypted files on NTFS file system volumes. So only with a certificate can people access the EFS locked files.

How to Encrypt a File in Windows 10/8/7

1. Find the file or folder you wish to encrypt.

2. Right-click the file/folder and click 'Properties.' Then, click the 'Advanced...' button on the General screen.

3. Check the box 'Encrypt Contents to Secure Data' under the Compress or Encrypt attributes section, then click the 'OK' button.

4. Continuing clicking the 'OK' button. An encryption warning box will pop up.

5. Check the 'Encrypt the File Only' box to encrypt the individual file, then click 'OK' to finish.

Note: If you copy unencrypted files to a folder with encrypted property, they will be automatically encrypted.

EFS encryption is transparent. If you encrypt some data, you can access this data without any restriction. And you can decrypt the files system by unchecking the 'Encrypt Contents to Secure Data' feature. Yes, this only works for the file system, not your specific file. If you want to decrypt files, the certificate or password is indispensable.

How to Decrypt Encrypted Files Without Password/Key

If you haven't exported and backed up the file encryption certificate before or if you have forgotten the password, you cannot decrypt encrypted files in the following situations.

• Reinstalling Windows OS
• Moving encrypted files to another computer
• Recovering data from an encrypted disk

Suppose that you really need to decrypt files, you can search and try some online decryption tools. But you need to be aware that these tools are not 100% safe. You may be at risk of data theft or source data corruption. So think twice before trying these programs.

In addition to this case, where users actively use tools to encrypt, there is another unexpected way of files being encrypted, which is by viruses or ransomware. For example, ransomware encrypts and deletes files. In the next part, we will show you how to use a reliable ransomware encrypted file recovery tool to get back data without paying the ransom.

How to Recover Files Encrypted by Ransomware

Since most ransomware encrypts your files and folders by three steps: make an exact copy of files and folders > encrypt the copy > delete the source files. How this works gives you a great opportunity to recover the encrypted files through professional data recovery software.

Sum Up
