Can you explain exactly how your software works and how it derived the answers? Can you defend your findings when questioned by a knowledgeable litigator? Read more at Why Attend a Basic Computer Forensics Training Seminar.

Maresware Software Purchases(Discounts)

We furnish a copy of Maresware:The Suite for your use during the seminar. But because many of our students already have their Maresware, we do not provide a take-home copy as part of the registration fee. If you already have a licensed copy of Maresware, you will receive the current version(at no cost) on the first day of the seminar. (You must bring your registration disk with you.)

If you want to purchase the software, you may make your purchase when you register and take advantage of a discounted price of $300.00( Maresware: The Suite normally sells for $410.00) You may also purchase the software at this discount price during the seminar.
