| Virtual Disk SDK |
Virtual Disk SDK is a library for software developers that allows to create virtual drives and disks, format them to FAT or NTFS or other file system, and mount as if they were physical devices without having to write low level driver code. Using Virtual Disk SDK requires no experience in kernel mode programming on your behalf since Virtual Disk SDK provides you with powerful user level API.
System requirements:
Windows 2000, XP, Vista, Server 2003, XP x64, Server 2003 x64, Vista x64*, Windows 7, Server 2008
Product benefits:
- Virtual Disk SDK allows you to create virtual disk in your application by implementing of several callback functions. This disk can be formatted to FAT, FAT32, NTFS or any other file system.
- Virtual disk can be stored at any location: in memory, in file, in database or on the remote location.
- User data can be stored locally or remotely on a virtual disk that can be either visible or hidden from end-user or application. Stored content can be copied to another location or entirely disposed of after the application termination.
- Virtual disk storage encryption can be implemented in your application by minimal efforts.
- Complete source code for sample applications and API DLL is available. Source code for helper drivers supplied when you purchase Source Code License ONLY.
Virtual Disk SDK run-time libraries:
You can download Virtual Disk SDK run-time libraries (free for private or educational use) in order to test and evaluate the reliability and performance of our software. We provide three simple console applications with complete source code to demonstrate how Virtual Disk SDK can be used for rapid development of virtual disk storages.

Please be very careful when choosing the license type:
- Individual license can be used for educational purposes, creating dedicated network filtering solutions etc. You are not permitted to redistribute Virtual Disk SDK modules (DLL's, drivers) as a part of your software. Additionally we should note that there is no sense in doing this, if you create your product using standard drivers build then your software may conflict with any other applications based on these drivers..
- Developer license can be used for creating royalty free Virtual Disk SDK based software. NT Kernel Resources strongly recommends you to request custom software build from us.
- Source Code license is similar to Developer license but it also includes complete source code of Virtual Disk SDK.
Subscription Renewal:
If you are already Virtual Disk SDK customer, but your support plan is out-of-date then you can renew it using the links below (please note that NT Kernel Resources may request your previous order ID and date for confirmation):

* - For Windows Vista and later versions of the Windows family of operating systems, kernel-mode software must have a digital signature to load on x64-based computer systems. Virtual Disk SDK drivers are not signed and in order to test them on Vista x64 you should press F8 during system boot and choose Disable Driver Signature Enforcement option. For the commercial software you'd have to obtain Code Signing certificate from Verysign.
** - You may need custom build of Virtual Disk SDK if you are going to redistribute helper drivers as a part of your software. Custom build allows avoiding any possible conflicts with other Virtual Disk SDK based applications. If you have purchased Developer license you can request custom build by sending e-mail to support@ntkernel.com.
