Encryption via Microsoft CryptoAPI Enhanced Cryptographic Provider — same FIPS 140-2 validated module Windows Server uses. The answer to "describe your encryption" on a client procurement form. Available in Business onward. (For full FIPS 140-2 / HIPAA / DFARS validation paperwork, see Enterprise.)
Professional / Toolbox. Compress + encrypt attachments without leaving the apps you already live in. One-click PAE2 / ZIP-AES encryption with auto-passphrase suggestion or your own.
Professional / Toolbox. Built-in FTP client with FIPS-validated TLS, smart archive handling, bandwidth limiting, queue, resume. Replaces ad-hoc FileZilla deployments.
Professional / Toolbox. Generate RSA / ECC keys. Sign archives, verify signatures, encrypt to multiple recipients. Standard OpenPGP (RFC 4880) — interoperable with the rest of the GPG world.
Professional / Toolbox. 8-service integration (Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, Box, S3, Azure, Yandex, HiDrive). One product handles them all — no per-service desktop client to install.
Professional / Toolbox. VSS-aware nightly backup of your business mailbox, accounting database, project folders. Multi-target (local + cloud + offsite). Encrypted with AES-256 by default.
Toolbox / Enterprise. The full command-line included for scripted nightly archives, automated client-deliverable bundling, or CI/CD if you ship code.
Toolbox only. Mount client-supplied disc images, burn data/audio/Blu-ray for archival or distribution, master ISO9660+UDF hybrid discs. Useful for solo audio / video / archival work; skippable otherwise.
If you use it for personal/hobby work, browse Power Users. If you use it as part of a one-person business — invoicing clients, signing contracts, handling regulated data — you're a Home Professional. Same product, same single license; what differs is what the encryption + Outlook add-in + audit trail are protecting (your stuff vs. your clients' stuff). Different mental model, but the buy is identical.
PowerArchiver is the encryption technical control that supports those frameworks. The framework compliance itself — risk assessment, BAAs, training, policies — is your responsibility. PowerArchiver gives you the FIPS 140-2 validated AES-256 your risk assessment cites. We supply documentation for the relevant regime on request: HIPAA, GLBA / SOX / PCI-DSS, ABA Rule 1.6, FIPS / DFARS. Email compliance for letterhead docs.
Yes, in the typical case. Most outside-counsel and vendor-management guidelines require encryption-in-transit + at-rest with FIPS-validated AES (or equivalent). PowerArchiver's Outlook add-in produces FIPS-validated AES-256 encrypted attachments — the most common pattern those guidelines name. Some guidelines specify particular formats (.zip with AES, .pgp, .7z); PowerArchiver handles all three. If your client has a specific requirement, contact us with the language and we'll confirm.
Yes. A single license covers your primary device + a secondary device used by the same person (e.g., desktop + laptop, or office + travel). For a second person at your practice (spouse, partner, paralegal), buy a 2-seat order — drops the per-license cost via volume pricing. Per the EULA, the personal-use clause means one licensed user across multiple devices, not multiple separate users sharing one license.
No on both. Perpetual = perpetual. Buy once, your hardware, the version you bought works forever — no auto-renewal, no nag screen, no forced upgrade. Free updates within the current lifecycle are included with every paid edition. For premium support and free major-version upgrades, add PowerArchiver Select at checkout — 25%/yr or 50% for 3 years.
Yes. Per-seat add-on orders are simple — buy the quantity you need at the volume tier matching your new size. At 5+ seats, browse the Business volume pricing. At 1,000+ seats it's worth looking at Enterprise Unlimited. Same product across all tiers; existing licenses keep working.
