+<title>VeraCrypt - Free Open source disk encryption with strong security for the Paranoid</title>
+<meta name="description" content="VeraCrypt is free open-source disk encryption software for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. In case an attacker forces you to reveal the password, VeraCrypt provides plausible deniability. In contrast to file encryption, data encryption performed by VeraCrypt is real-time (on-the-fly), automatic, transparent, needs very little memory, and does not involve temporary unencrypted files."/>

+Acresso FLEXnet Publisher activation software, formerly Macrovision SafeCast, (used for activation of third-party software, such as Adobe Photoshop) writes data to the first drive track. If this happens when your system partition/drive is encrypted by VeraCrypt,
+ a portion of the VeraCrypt Boot Loader will be damaged and you will not be able to start Windows. In that case, please use your

+You may keep the third-party software activated but you will need to boot your system from the VeraCrypt Rescue Disk CD/DVD

+If you do not want to boot your system from the VeraCrypt Rescue Disk CD/DVD every time, you can restore the VeraCrypt Boot Loader on the system drive. To do so, in the Rescue Disk screen, select

+Restore VeraCrypt Boot Loader</em>. However, note that this will deactivate the third-party software.
