FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: April 2005
Extensive copy protection and license management toolset for software is fully compatible with Mac OS X Tiger (10.4)
SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA – April 28th, 2005 – PACE Anti-Piracy Inc., a leader in the development and licensing of anti-piracy systems for software publishers, has released version 5.2 of InterLok® for Macintosh. This version works seamlessly with all Apple supported versions of the Mac OS.
The new release allows users of software protected by PACE InterLok to work seamlessly with Mac OS X Tiger (10.4). InterLok can be used for pure software copy protection or hardware based copy protection using the optional iLok USB Smart key and related web site www.iLok.com. The iLok.com user services website is also fully OS X Tiger compatible
“The development of this new InterLok version has followed an 20 year tradition of commitment to maximum security, advanced features, and ease-of-use,” said Allen Cronce, President and founder of PACE Anti-Piracy, “InterLok 5.2 for Macintosh raises the bar of software security for our customers while addressing their needs to be compatible with Mac OS X Tiger, the most advanced operating system in the world.”
InterLok 5.2 is the next-generation tool set for distributing and selling software in a flexible, cost-effective, and highly secure manner. The scalability of InterLok makes it a timely solution for software publishers and distributors who are simultaneously challenged by increasing peer-to-peer software sharing and decreasing development budgets. InterLok enables publishers to protect their software by wrapping an application in minutes with no source code changes or through the use of PACE’s comprehensive application programming interfaces.
InterLok 5.2 continues to support the same range of software licensing features as previous InterLok versions: automated wrapping, easy integration into existing build systems, 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.
Features and Benefits
• Guided update: End users are guided through a download and installation process for new Extensions specifically designed to work with Mac OS X Tiger.
• Java libraries for Activation: The IAS (InterLok Activations Services) library provides Java-based server support for license generation for InterLok protected software. By integrating the library with your server applications, software publisher can automate the generation of InterLok licenses more easily with their specific web server and customer database implementations.
• Increased Security: New, highly secure anti-hacking, anti-debugging functionality designed to limit the piracy of code at runtime.
• Certificate-Based Signing: This version adds support for certificate based digital signatures for protected executables. While previous versions of InterLok supported digitally signing executables, this new version expands on that feature with new infrastructure using keys certified by PACE. This provides a mechanism by which one can know who signed a given executable, instead of just whether or not an executable was signed. This feature can be used to programmatically establish additional layers of trust between software components.
