Our free software is provided to use and distribute without restrictions for both private and commercial purposes, provided the software is not modified in any way or used for illegal purposes.
Our free software is typically available in x64 format only and is supported on Microsoft supported editions of Windows/Windows Server. If you need a build for x86 or another architecture such as ARM, please contact us via the contact page or email contact@emerita.dev. Any such solution will be provided on a reasonable endeavour basis.
Free software support is limited. We will provide reasonable support and documentation for our free software products, but we do not guarantee response times or can guarantee the provision of additional features or fixes for these products. Bug reports and feature requests may be submitted via our contact page or email contact@emerita.dev, but they are assessed at our discretion.
All of our software is digitally signed for integrity and assurance and completely free from viruses, malware, or any malicious code. However, some antivirus programs may flag certain files or applications as potential threats due to heuristic analysis, outdated virus definitions, or overly aggressive security scanning.
We may use license protection software in our paid products which increases the potential of false positives. If you are unsure of any security alerts you receive regarding our software, please submit it to your anti-virus vendor for further analysis to confirm it contains no threats, or contact us via our contact page or email contact@emerita.dev so we may contact them on your behalf.
Occasionally we are unable to submit or clarify that our software is legitimate with certain AV vendors. If you see our utilities flagged by just one or two vendors on VirusTotal or similar, it isn't because we produce malware, it is because they as antivirus vendors have no legitimate reporting chain. These are likely fringe AV solutions, but if you are using these as for your AV protection, we would suggest that you use something more reputable. For a more complete picture of validity, you might also want to confirm additional validation via sites such as www.virustotal.com (see the limitations of this above). Again, if you do encounter a false positive then let us know so we can work to ensure it is rectified (where possible). More importantly, if the digital signature is not present or invalid on one of our software products that you possess, do not use it and instead re-download it directly from this site and inform us if you have any concerns.

There isn't one. These utilities are provided as a side-benefit of my venture to professionally transition from C/ASM/various other legacy languages to Rust. If these utilities are useful to me, I hope they can be useful to you. I plan to continue to improve these utilities and add additional free software over time.
So why not publish these utilities as open source? A large number of my free software projects are based on solutions created for current or previous employers. Whilst all utilities available on this site have been written from scratch, in order to avoid potential legal challenges, it currently makes it impossible to release these utilities as open source at this time.
