What does File Investigator do ?

File Investigator identifies files by scanning them, much like a virus scanner does, then informs you of the file type, metadata extracted from the file and background information on how to use the file.  More details are available on the How It Works page.

What file formats does File Investigator support?

It depends on the version of File Investigator that you use.  New file formats are being added quarterly.  The latest Software Development Kit, File Find for Windows and Directory for Windows support 3,035 file formats.

What applications are available for consumers?

File Investigator File Find mimics the original Microsoft File Find feature that searches for files on your hard drive.  File Investigator Directory for Windows mimics the DOS command line DIR command.

What resources are available to software developers?

We provide File Investigator Software Development Kits for Windows, Sun Solaris UNIX & Linux environments.  For businesses that depend on our products, we also provide Maintenance Contracts to ensure that their every need is met.  These contracts include 48 hour (maximum) response times and 2 week (maximum) turn around time for update build releases that solve reported problems.

When will I receive my registration key?

After you purchase your product, you should receive an email message confirming your purchase and providing you with the registration key/password.  If this does not happen within 30-60 minutes of your purchase, then please notify Forensic Innovations Sales of the problem, and they will resolve it for you.  If you also purchase a 1 year Subscription or Maintenance Agreement, then you should receive a second email message with a (long term) registration key within 48 hours.  Make sure that you keep your registration key(s) for update builds.

Why are new versions released every 3 months?

We are constantly adding more file formats and improving the accuracy and metadata extraction for our existing file formats.  There are thousands of different file formats, and our goal is to support as many as possible.  

We offer Subscriptions for our consumer applications and Maintenance Agreements for our Software Development Kits (SDKs) to give you a more affordable way to keep up with every version.  Purchase a Subscription with your consumer application, and you will receive the next 3 quarterly versions.  Each year that you renew that subscription, you will receive 4 more quarterly versions.  Purchase a Maintenance Agreement for your current version of an SDK, and receive the next 4 quarterly versions.  Each renewal of the Maintenance Agreement includes 4 more quarterly versions.
