A single Standard License of Recover My Photos 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 Photos 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.
Some digital cameras use a proprietary connection when the camera is connected directly to the computer using a USB cable. In such cases, the camera storage drive may NOT appear as a drive in the drive selection window.
We recommend that the camera storage card be removed from the camera and connected to the computer using a USB card reader.
