Frequently asked questions

Yes. You can renew the original SMS subscription that came with your license of Passware Kit Forensic.

Yes, each license of Passware Kit (Business, Forensic, Ultimate, and Mobile editions) and Device Decryption Add-on comes with a one-year SMS subscription (for Perpetual licenses) or access to updates (for Annual licenses). You will receive a Passware account login along with the software download link and product key.

The SMS subscription is normally renewed on an annual basis. Customers who have multiple SMS subscriptions can renew them for a particular number of months in order to co-term their licen ses. Contact Sales for a quote.

Customers can choose which SMS subscriptions to renew or renew them simultaneously. This does not affect the pricing.

Your Software Maintenance & Support (SMS) subscription lets you access new versions of the software when released and engage with our technical support team. After SMS expires you will not be receiving software updates and bugfixes; however, the software with Perpetual licensing will continue to run normally.

When SMS subscription renewal is purchased after it has expired already, the subscription is extended for one or more years starting from the previous expiration date, not from the purchase date.
