CardRaider comes in two versions: Demo (Trial) and Full.

The Demo can be downloaded for free and has a 7-day trial period after which it stops functioning. The free download linked on our webpage and the downloads linked from other websites (eg. VersionTracker, MacUpdate) are demos.

After purchase, users need to download and install the full version of their purchased software. Instructions for doing this are automatically sent via email.

The demo version works just like the full version, but will only recover a thumbnail version of your photos and cannot permanently erase data. You have to buy the full version to save full-sized images.
