Persistence with home license

[Jake]

Hi,

I downloaded and installed Sandboxie Plus and purchased the home license for 40 euros. I did this for the purpose of having persistent sandboxes only I can't figure out how to create a persistent sandbox they always disappear.


When I did the install I chose personal use because that's what it is for me. During the installation or the first time running the program it suggests that persistence is available only if you say you want to use it for commercial business purposes.


Do I have to choose Commercial Business even though I'm using it for personal use? I uninstalled and reinstalled but business was greyed out.

What do i need to do?

UPDATE:

I think I answered my question myself by setting up another computer and doing some further investigation. It seems that persistence is part of the free program and I unnecessarily jumped to the conclusion that I needed to spend 40 euros to accomplish what I wanted to accomplish.

Now I need to find out what the procedure is to get a refund for my purchase.

For any questions about the payment process, refunds and other license related questions, please write to the email address you can find here. Please include as much information as possible in your email. David is going to handle the process.

That is correct. (Unless the default changed, the sandbox should retain its data.)

Your certificate covers:
Privacy enhanced sandboxes. (The original design prevents chances to the system [unless permitted by the user], while allowing anything to be read the user was able to read. The data protection boxes, change that behavior)

Security enhanced sandboxes. (Originally, secure type boxes only did not permit a process to be started with elevated rights in a sandbox. [That is available for anyone.] The new secure type boxes restrict the syscalls a process can make and what endpoints they can access.)

Compartment type boxes. (Sandboxes that usually provide better compatibility with software that otherwise might fail, due to restrictions, by being less restrictive. This sacrifices some security, so it's not recommended to be used with unrusted software.)

RAM disk integration. (Storing a sandbox in RAM can make software run faster and its contents are gone if the system is powered off. This is not what you are looking for and of course you could create a sandbox on a RAM disk you set up yourself. This feature just makes it easier.)

USB Sandboxing. (This feature allows forcing anything that is started from a USB drive into a user-defined sandbox, while allowing user selected drives to be exempt from that.)

ARM64 support (Originally, Sandboxie only ran on x86 and x86_64 machines. If you'd need to run Sandboxie on Windows with ARM64, that only works with a certificate.)
