The differences between MOBILedit Forensic PRO and ULTRA

MOBILedit Forensic ULTRA is the elite and most powerful version of MOBILedit Forensic software. The ULTRA edition is equipped with all the features of MOBILedit Forensic PRO and is furthermore enriched with the most innovative security bypassing features categorized in the Dual-use product category.

As a result of EU dual regulation, it means that certain security bypassing features were moved from version PRO to version ULTRA so that access to these features is under stricter control.

By limiting access to these features and including them only in more advanced versions, we can help ensure these features are only used for intended purposes and not for malicious activities.

To maintain the highest standards of professionalism and compliance with legal requirements, the ULTRA edition is available based on official professional and territorial authorization. The delivery of MOBILedit ULTRA is limited to EU member countries and a pre-approved list of third countries outisde the EU. There is is also a list of prohibited countries. For any other third country that does not feature on one of the lists, an application to export can be made, in compliance with Export Control of Dual-Use Goods Regulation 2021/821, as amended by Regulation 2023/66.

What does “Dual-use Software” mean exactly?

The term "dual use" typically refers to technologies or products that have civilian AND military or law enforcement applications. In the context of mobile forensics software, "dual-use" may indicate that the software can be used for legitimate forensic investigations as well as potentially malicious activities, such as hacking or data theft. Therefore, it may be subject to additional scrutiny and regulation to prevent misuse. It's important to note that being classified as "dual-use" does not necessarily mean that a software product is inherently dangerous or unethical. Rather, it may simply require more careful monitoring and oversight to ensure that it is being used for legitimate purposes.
