DONGLE Information

As of April 2008 we have changed the registrion procedure for the software. In the past we would supply a floppy disk which you would use to register or brand your ownership information into the software programs. However, since floppy disks are becomming increasingly hard to find, we have decided to convert the registration process to a dongle. HOWEVER:

The prices of the suite have been adjusted to include the additional cost of the dongle. So for each suite purchased you will get the dongle with it.

The individual software prices have not been adjusted in any fashion, and if you purchase individual programs, you will need to purchase at least one dongle per user, in order to properly register the software. If you fail to purchase the dongle at the time of placing the order, your individual software will probably be shipped with the older floppy disk registration procedure. If at a later time you decide you need the dongle, you will not only be charged the $25.00 for the dongle, but may also have to incur any expdite shipping charges you request. Most people will want it shipped right away, and that means somewhere around a $15.00 overnite charge. So do it right the first time. If you have questions about whether you need to purchase the dongle with the intial order, call first. We are most happy to discuss your needs and the uses of the software.

The dongle will be used to accomplish two tasks.

First, the owner of the software will initialize the dongle with his/her ownership information. This information will consist of two lines of text. Usually the owners name or company, and the 2nd line usually a city or division. This information brands the dongle, and cannot be changed, and it is used to later brand all the software which is purchased from Mares and Company.

Next, for each software package that is purchased, the dongle will allow the owner to initialize the software with the ownership information. Not until the software is initialized will it become fully functional. Once the software is branded, it can be run from any location which the person licensed it for, and the dongle is no longer needed. (in the future, a very restrictive few software programs will require the dongle be present when being run. currently this does not exist).

If you purchase the suite, all the programs are included on the dongle. HOWEVER: if you purchase only a limited number of programs the dongle will be setup so that only those programs can be initialized. Once you purchase a dongle for a limited number of programs, you may not have to purchase another if you later decide to purchase additional software. (in order to eliminate additional costs, every effort is being made to be able to upgrade the dongles you may have previously purchased. You will be sent an upgrade program which will upgrade the dongle to include the additionally purchased software. But no promises are made until the process of adding software to existing dongles is perfected).

As of April 2008 the costs of the dongle is $25.00. This may decline or increase as dongle prices themsleves change. If you order any of the software, and forget to include the dongle purchase, it will generally be added for you. (Unless you already own one and have indicated you DO NOT need a new one).

Declasfy Pricing

Declasfy is designed to be used either on separate computers or for wiping individual disks. Therefore, it is priced differently from the other individual Maresware programs.

The initial purchase of the license floppy disk (price: $95.00) comes with 15 uses of the program which allows wiping of 15 hard drives. After these initial 15 licensed uses, you must purchase additional licenses. Site licenses are also available. The (2008) dongle pricing is yet to be developed for the declasfy program. So at this time, Declasfy can ONLY be run from a floppy disk, and IS NOT part of the new dongle process. If you require a program that runs under a WINDOWS/NT OS, use NTIMAGE.

Hash Set CD

Hash Set CD is available as a single purchase(price: $45.00) or by yearly subscription(price: $150.00 Also prorated subscriptions for partial years). Note: It is included, at no additional cost, with the purchase of Maresware: The Suite.

The contents of our Hash Set CD and its updates change quarterly, as NSRL updates their hash sets, increasing the number of referenced files. As HashKeeper updates their hash sets we also incorporate their latest values. Remember that our Hash Set(and all updates) includes the original files from these sources plus those same files converted, by us, to fixed length records.

Because of the advantages of using the updated records, we offer Hash Set CD as a calendar year subscription. The zipped file is mailed on a CD when you order and quarterly thereafter.

Prorated prices for partial year subscriptions are as follows:

  • If purchased in Jan - Mar: $150. (all prices in U.S. Dollars)
  • If purchased in Apr - June: $120.
  • If purchased in Jul - Sep:    $ 80.
  • If purchased in Oct - Dec:    $45.

At which time we will send you a new registration dongle, which you use to initialize the downloaded upgrades. Prices for upgrades after the first year are prorated as follows, based on the age of your registration disk:

E-Mailing Software

Many people request that we send demo software via e-mail. Within size limits of about 1 meg per attachment this is possible. However, since many firewalls (including MS Outlook) strip executable and zip attachments, before e-mailing attachments to anyone, we must know what format is acceptable to allow the attachments to pass firewalls. You must advise before we attempt to send the file what format is acceptable. If after you assure us that the attachment will pass the firewall, it gets stripped, and you request it be sent another way, your credit card will be charged $25.00 for each additional try. We suggest you get it right the first time.

We apologize for this harsh policy, but it is time consuming and frustrating to send e-mail to an address which you have assured us will allow the attachment through, only to find out it was stripped by a firewall that couldn't tell the difference between a zip file and a virus.

If you are unsure how we should send attachments through a firewall, it is suggested you obtain a copy of free pgp. We will send the attachments as ascii encoded pgp files. This should get through almost any filter. (and if it fails, we won't charge for any additional resends).

Refund Policy

No refunds can be given for software purchases. Mares and Company will gladly replace any defective software, CD's, diskettes or dongles within 60 days of purchase.

You, the purchaser and user are assumed to have researched, tested, and found the software to fit your needs. Therefore, any use of the software by you is AT YOUR OWN RISK, and Mares and Company assumes no liability for any damage or loss of data as a result of the use of the software.

The sample programs available for download from this website should provide sufficient operation and capability for users to determine ahead of time if a program suits their needs. We will be more than happy to assist you in making these determinations prior to purchase. It is the user's responsibilty to determine the capability of the software to suit their needs.
