How to Activate and Update Kernel for Exchange Server

Kernel for Exchange Server offers a secure and dependable solution for retrieving corrupt Exchange database files and saving them to a suitable destination. Unlike some other methods, it doesn't rely on transaction logs for data recovery; instead, it recovers the entire data using the database file (EDB) alone. A free version of the software is available for download from the website, which you can later activate. Please note that the free version allows you to save up to 25 items per folder. To save the entire dataset, you'll need to activate the trial version into a full version.
