(*) Notes: Limitations on Evaluation Mode:

• Due to US Government Export Regulations, the 256-bit and 56-bit encryption capabilities are disabled during the evaluation period.
• Cross hardware restoration is disabled during the evaluation period. Why did we do this? Because too many people were using Backup for Workgroups as a free migration utility, instead of a backup solution that provides long-term, on-going data protection. Feel free to contact us at sales@lockstep.com if you have any questions or comments about this restriction.
