Common questions Product guides 24/7 support

Demo and Licensing

What is the difference between the demo and the full version?

The demo has the same features and previews your files in full. It limits the export: 10 items per folder in the PST, OST, EML and MSG converters, the first 10 emails of each MBOX file, the first 10 contacts in CSV to VCF Converter, and a watermark on output from the PDF tools. The full version removes the limit.

How do I receive my license key?

The license key and download link are emailed to your registered address as soon as the purchase is confirmed. If it has not arrived within a few minutes, check your spam folder.

How do I unlock the full version?

Enter the license key from your purchase email in the software. The demo you already installed becomes the full version.

I lost my license key. What do I do?

Email [email protected] with the email address or order number you used to buy, and the team will help.

Which license edition should I buy?

Editions differ by product. Each product's buy page lists the editions and prices available for it.

Files and Formats

Do I need Outlook installed to convert PST or OST files?

No. PST Converter and OST Converter read the files directly. You only need Outlook if you want to open a PST you created.

Can it handle very large files?

Yes. PST Converter and OST Converter are built to read oversized files. Larger files take longer to load.

Are attachments kept?

Yes. Attachments, email headers and the folder structure carry over in every output format that supports them.

Can I convert password-protected files?

Yes. PST Converter and OST Converter read password-protected files, and the PDF tools accept a password for protected PDFs.

Which Outlook versions are supported?

PST and OST files from Outlook 2000 to 2024, in ANSI and Unicode format.

Installation and Troubleshooting

The full installation walkthrough is in the software guide.

What are the system requirements?

Windows 11, 10, 8.1, 8 or 7 (32-bit or 64-bit), a 1 GHz processor, 2 GB of RAM and 200 MB of free disk space. 2.4 GHz and 4 GB of RAM are recommended.

Windows asks whether to allow the app to make changes. Is that normal?

Yes. Windows shows this prompt for every installer. Click Yes to continue.

Where is the software installed?

By default in C:\Program Files\Magic Soft Recovery\. You can open it from the desktop shortcut or from the Start menu under Magic Soft Recovery.

The software says my file is in use.

Close Outlook and any program that may be syncing the file, then try again. Working on a copy of the file also avoids this.

The export stopped part way through.

Check that the destination drive has enough free space. If it still stops, email [email protected] with a screenshot of the message.

Orders and Refunds

Do you offer refunds?

Yes. Purchases are covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee. See the refund policy for details.

Is payment secure?

Yes. Every transaction goes through SSL-secured payment gateways.

Can I buy licenses for a business or several users?

Yes. Email [email protected] for business and volume licensing.
