FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: May 2006
Extensive copy protection and license management toolset for software is fully compatible with Intel and PowerPC based Macintosh computers
SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA – May 15th, 2006 – PACE Anti-Piracy Inc., a leader in the development and licensing of anti-piracy systems for software publishers, has released version 5.4 of InterLok® for Macintosh. This version works seamlessly with all Apple supported versions of the Mac OS and is the first version to include support for protection of Intel-native and Universal binaries. Authoring protected software for the Mac and activating customers could not be simpler for software publishers.
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 a 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 5.4 for Macintosh raises the bar of software security for our customers while addressing their needs to take advantage of the latest technology from Apple.”
InterLok 5.4 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 5.4 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
