(NASDAQ: ALDN), Linux-platform software developers now have even greater flexibility to enhance the security of their intellectual property without adding complexity or cost to the development process. With this latest version of HASP software, Aladdin introduces greater Linux OS support with enhancements that significantly improve developer flexibility and deliver ease-of-use and convenience to end-users: New Envelope Utility for Linux New Linux HASP License Manager Support for Linux on ItaniumŪ 64-bit platforms Linux-supporting API V8.0 "Our Linux platform leadership is unparalleled. With the introduction of additional Linux-specific tools on HASP CD 12, it's now even more evident," says Avi Barir, Aladdin's vice president, software commerce. "With a new Envelope utility for Linux, developers now have the flexibility to protect their applications automatically, or customize it manually through the API." With Aladdin's Envelope Utilities, those developing applications for Linux platforms can encrypt their applications and incorporate anti-debugging features in minutes. Of course, developers still have the flexibility to use the API to customize their protection. New Linux HASP License Manager HASP CD 12 introduces enhanced end user convenience with its new HASP License Manager for Linux. This versatile HASP feature serves Linux network clients (as well as Win32 and Mac), communicating via TCP/IP. End users, wishing to use a dedicated machine to serve HASP4 Net-protected applications, now have the option of doing so on computers running the Linux OS. With the introduction of Linux License Manager and its accompanying daemon installation tools, on-site installation becomes much easier for end users. Support for Windows and Linux 64-bit applications With CD 12, HASP supports both Windows XP and Linux applications on Intel's new Itanium 64-bit platform. Through new daemons and APIs developers can break new ground as more and more hardware vendors turn to this powerful platform in search of performance and efficiency.
