Stellar Data Recovery Free Edition software comes with an advanced upgrade feature that allows you to upgrade your free edition to a higher edition.

Why Upgrade Free Mac Data Recovery Software in First Place?

The free Mac data recovery tool helps you restore 1 gigabyte of lost or deleted files. But the recoverable files must be less than 25 MB in size. To overcome 1 gigabyte and file size capping it is highly recommended to upgrade the Free Edition to a higher version i.e. to Professional, Premium or Technician.

To upgrade your free 1 Gb software to Professional edition, perform the following steps:

Step 1) Launch Stellar Data Recovery Free Edition on your Mac.

Step 2) From the top panel, click the Activation icon.
