I almost passed out when AccessData quoted me a price on FTK. I *have* to buy 2.0 and they will 'throw in' 1.7x for the ONE LOW price of…
,,,ugh, I can't even bing myself to repeat it here. It's too obscene.
So, I ask Is there still a vendor somewhere willing to sell FTK 1.7x with the Registry Viewer?
Just out of curiosity, how much did they charge you? I'm a licensed holder and I'm scared to ask what it would cost to renew the subscription…

New licenses for commercial applications appear to be $3830 ($2995 for LE), renewals are $840 per license.
I like FTK, but I have been becoming highly frustrated at the number of corrupt cases and things not opening, I feel I have to restart the case every single day because it does not open. Just a nice white screen that stays there thats all. Anyone else having a high amount of issues with this product???

I had a number of cases open with AccessData regarding corrupted cases (had being the operative word). FTK would crash and then when I tried to reopen the case it would not open and I would be starting from scratch or the backup from the previous day.
I was running FTK on a very new dual-core box with 2GB RAM, fast drives, the works. My understanding is that FTK is not multi-core aware, but "should run fine". After a great deal of frustration, adding drives to the system with additional TEMP directories, making some system tweaks (turning off hyper-threading and multi-threading or whatever your BIOS calls it), I built a new box. Problem solved.
Now this may not be practical for everyone and was pretty expensive, but I have not had a problem (knock on wood) since moving to the new systems. Plus case processing is MUCH faster. Here are the specs Pentium 4 "Extreme Edition" 3.4GHz (requires crazy cooling), 8 GB RAM, RAID-10 for the OS and apps, cases are stored on individual eSATA drives, running W2K3 Enterprise Edition (modified to run as a workstation). Not for everybody but FTK certainly behaves and performs far better than before.
BitHead Is that FTK 1.7 or 2.0 ?

The pricing is for 2.0, the new systems I just built run 1.8. We have tried 2.0 but it is not suitable for our production environment.
