Tuxera NTFS for Mac - Perpetual License

Tuxera NTFS for Mac, sold by its developer as Microsoft NTFS for Mac by Tuxera, is a file system driver from the Finnish company Tuxera Inc. that gives macOS full read and write access to NTFS drives, the disk format used by Windows. It is meant for anyone who moves data between a PC and a Mac: macOS alone can only read NTFS volumes, so external disks, USB sticks and memory cards formatted on Windows cannot be written to without such a driver. This listing is a product key for the software: once entered, the driver runs in the background and every NTFS volume connected to the Mac mounts in the Finder like an ordinary disk.

This product is a perpetual license key for Tuxera NTFS for Mac: it does not expire and can be used on 1 Mac running macOS. The key is delivered by email together with the activation instructions.

A typical case is an external drive shared between a Windows PC and a MacBook, or a Boot Camp partition whose files you want to edit from macOS. The driver can be switched off globally or for a single volume; Apple's read-only driver takes over while it is disabled.

Key Features:

• Full read and write access: NTFS volumes mount with write permission: copy, edit, rename and delete files on Windows-formatted disks and save your work directly onto them.
• Smart caching layer: An internal cache speeds up transfers to hard disks and SSDs while protecting file system integrity; it can be disabled for volumes with sensitive data.
• Tuxera Disk Manager: The bundled utility formats, checks and repairs NTFS volumes and creates NTFS disk images; on macOS 10.12 and later Apple's Disk Utility can also format NTFS.
• System Settings pane: The Microsoft NTFS by Tuxera pane (General, Volumes, Activation, Updates, About) enables or disables the driver, sets per-volume options, checks updates and manages the key.
• Compatibility with Windows environments: Supports current NTFS versions and extended attributes, works with dual-boot setups and virtual machines; NTFS drives can be indexed by Spotlight.
• Proven driver technology: Tuxera develops the open-source NTFS-3G driver and has had access to Microsoft's file system specifications since 2009; yearly releases follow each new macOS.
