OST Recovery Tool (2026 Enterprise Edition) Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about licensing, system compatibility, standalone file processing, and migration steps for OST Recovery Tool (2026 Enterprise Edition).
Q Can I recover data from an orphaned OST file if the original email account is deleted?
Yes. Prism OST Recovery Tool is specifically designed to open and extract all data from orphaned OST files even after the associated Exchange, Office 365, or IMAP account has been deleted or decommissioned.
Q Do I need Microsoft Outlook or Exchange Server installed?
No. The software features an independent low-level .NET 8 B-Tree parser that repairs and extracts OST files directly from disk without requiring Microsoft Outlook or Exchange Server.
Q Can the tool recover permanently deleted emails?
Yes. The deep physical sector scanner carves unallocated B-Tree database blocks to recover hard-deleted emails and items that were emptied from the Deleted Items folder.
Q What is the maximum OST file size supported?
Prism OST Recovery Tool reads large OST files in chunks instead of loading the whole file into memory. No maximum size is documented here; test your own file in the free trial.
Q What are the limitations of the free trial version?
The free evaluation version allows you to scan and preview all recovered items, with a conversion limit of 50 items per folder. Purchasing a license removes all limits.
