In response to concerns recently voiced by multiple private-sector and defense-side investigators about recent changes to the license terms of one of the more commonly-used digital forensics software providers, Oxygen offers this clear and open statement of our policies (which do not include any such restrictions).
Stated simply, Oxygen supports all lawful investigations, including those by third-parties, and offers freedom to select your own cases – no limitations, no waivers, no fine print. We respect your professional autonomy and this is reflected in our license terms.
| Concerns Stated by Users of Competitive Software | Oxygen Forensics Policy |
|---|---|
| Prohibition of divorce, criminal defense, and probate cases | ✅ Oxygen supports all lawful investigations — family, civil, criminal, corporate, and beyond. |
| Confusing waiver and contract clauses | ✅ Simple, transparent licensing — no hidden limitations, no “forbidden case types.” |
| Million-dollar penalties for violations | ✅ No punitive clauses. Investigators stay in control of their work. |

Recommended next steps:
- If you are using a non-Oxygen solution for mobile data collection and other digital forensics functions, you may wish to speak to your software provider to make sure that you will not be prohibited from accepting divorce, criminal defense, and/or probate cases.
- Consider Oxygen Forensics’ state-of-the-art remote and onsite data collection (from mobile, computer, and cloud endpoints), advanced analytics, and flexible reporting functionality, provided without restrictions on the cases you investigate and with a price point that is approximately of the company changing its license terms.
