PACE Anti-Piracy Releases InterLok 5.2 for Windows

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Extensive copy protection and anti-debugging toolset for software publishers includes security enhancements 

SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA – January 2005 – PACE Anti-Piracy Inc., a leader in the development of anti-piracy systems for software publishers, has released version 5.2 of InterLok® Pro for Windows that works seamlessly with all Microsoft supported versions of Windows including Windows XP SP2.
 
“The development of InterLok has followed a 20-year tradition of commitment to maximum security, customizability, and ease-of-use,” said Allen Cronce, President and founder of PACE Anti-Piracy, “InterLok 5.2 for Windows raises the bar of software security for our customers as this release addresses their needs for a state of the art platform for copy protection and license management”.
 
InterLok 5.2 is an easy to use suite of tools for distributing and activating software in a flexible, cost-effective, and highly secure manner. InterLok enables publishers to protect their software by wrapping an application in minutes with no source code changes or by the use of the PACE Interface that is detailed in mature APIs. With this release PACE provides a java library for software publishers to use when generating and delivering software licenses.
 
“InterLok 5.2 introduces new choices for vendors with respect to robust security” Andrew Kirk, VP of Business Development explains, “at PACE we never stop working on security enhancements for the benefit of our customers. PACE customers can build a robust platform for enforcing their licensing terms and protecting their revenue. Software publishers can thus focus on their own product development.”

PACE designed InterLok as a suite of tools to address software publishers’ urgent need for more distribution flexibility.

Features and Benefits

  • Additional authorization method: Support for authorization via digitally signed XML-based license files. This system makes it easier to integrate InterLok with existing database architectures when using automated authorization via the Internet and/or activation settings. PACE now provides a Java library for license file generation. 
  • Increased security: New, highly secure anti-hacking, anti-debugging functionality designed to limit the piracy of code at runtime. Software publishers can select the level of protection in line with the user experience they wish to create. 
  • Industry standard Internet Activation support: Updated support for Internet Activation designed to help software publishers quickly add Internet activation to their e-Commerce strategies without depending on version compatibility with other database systems and payment technologies.
 
InterLok 5.2 continues to support the same range of software licensing features as previous InterLok versions: automated wrapping as part of the build system, trialware and buy-before-you-try functionality, metering, software rental, remote feature/module control, iLok USB smart key support, web-based user registration, and automatic delivery of authorization via the Internet.
