If I decide not use the software after the 6-month trial, will I be able to unhide &/or decrypt files & folders ?
Will Protected Folder Pro be usable after the trial ? Or, will the software program self-destruct ?
Hi, thanks for your question! 😊 After the 6-month license expires, you’ll still be able to log in and unhide or decrypt any files/folders you protected earlier. The only limitation is that you won’t be able to add new files/folders for protection unless you renew the license.
This giveaway has officially been given away, until there’s no more to give. Expired…
Wise Folder Hider by wisecleaner dot com does the same thing with a nicer interface PLUS it encrypts files as well, best of all it’s FREE… for life.
