Re: [Avid-L2] Re: Recovering files from external drive

IIRC, you pay for the amount of data you choose to recover in a session. That way you can skip files you don't want . . . and don't want and don't want to pay for. I'm not sure how it works as far as activation time . . . My guess is that once you reach the data limit paid for it disallows any further recovery until you pay some more. Best to check on that though. They were really helpful when I contacted them in the past. Hopefully that's still the case. Drop them an email or call them with your questions.
