FirstDefense-Rescue Announcement

Greetings All,

Leapfrog Software is pleased to announce the release of the latest version of FirstDefense-Rescue, now with Windows 7 and 64-bit compatibility. We are also introducing workstation and server versions which have all the features of the Lite version plus browsing, recovering, and updating of individual files and folders from the rescue area. They also include scheduling and a command line interface.

We are also thrilled to announce that this new release will be available both directly through Leapfrog Software and through a new business partner, with details about the new business partner to be forthcoming soon.

For all prior customers of FirstDefense-Rescue and FirstDefense-ISR, we are offering you a special introductory discount of 25% of off MSRP – good through March 31st. Details are below on how to get this discount.

Support: A key factor in the past had to do with support. Support will be available through the FAQs and through other users at the Wilder’s Security Forum. Email support for purchases made through the Leapfrog site will be provided by another partner through a Leapfrog email address. There will be a fee for this email support, although as part of our introductory offer email support will be provided at no cost through March 31, 2010.

For those who were anticipating that the “classic” FirstDefense-ISR would again be available through Leapfrog, we must report that it is not. Leapfrog sold its intellectual property rights of the classic version to an entity which is pursuing an entirely different market segment with significant additional features and at a substantially higher price. It is not currently being offered to “the general public”.

However, you will find a host of new features in Rescue, and our road map includes adding new features and capabilities over time.

Discount to prior customers: You need to submit the following information in an email: 1) Which FirstDefense product you own, 2) from whom you acquired it, and 3) your license key. Send your email with this information to: offer@leapfrogsoftware.com, on or before March 31, 2010. You will receive a return email with your discount coupon information. Remember, the earlier you buy, the larger the window of time for free email tech support.

I thank you for your continued support.
