DMDE

DMDE is a software designed to effectively recover lost data. It retrieves files and folders swiftly and stores them in the user-defined location. It is an easy to use yet powerful tool that will assist both novice and experienced users in getting back lost files in just a few simple steps.

Free Edition includes all basic features but a single recovery operation recovers up to 4000 files in the current panel only (you should first open a subdirectory in the current panel and then recover files in the panel). In paid licenses there is no this restriction, and recovery of nested directories is allowed.

Can paid versions recover more files than the free version of DMDE?
If a file cannot be recovered in the DMDE Free Edition (or it is damaged after recovery) the same will occur in the paid versions. DMDE paid versions are capable of recovering the same files. The only difference is that paid versions can recover all found files in one go, as well as restore the directory structure presented in the free version.

Professional Edition provides additional features:

rights to provide data recovery services
portable use on different computers
one-time activation on client computers (including remote use)
data recovery reports (include logs and file checksums)
read support for E01 disk image files
