PACE Anti-Piracy Releases Version 1.2 of InterLok for Macintosh; Update Supports Software Rentals, Offers Enhanced Challenge/Response Options San Jose, California - April 19, 1999 - PACE Anti-Piracy, the leading developer of secure software distribution systems for the Macintosh and Windows, today released an update to its InterLok for Macintosh product. InterLok for Macintosh 1.2 better supports software rentals, a distribution mechanism that allows software developers to broaden customer options for acquiring their products. Using InterLok, software developers can provide their customers with time-limited product licenses and ãpay as you useä rental arrangements, or securely allow customers to evaluate software before purchasing it. The new version of InterLok released today also offers a wider range of challenge/response customization options for developers and publishers using InterLok for the distribution of their software products. InterLok is a fifth-generation tool set for protecting, distributing and selling software electronically and via traditional models such as the telephone and facsimile. InterLok Pro for Macintosh includes all of the features of InterLok for Macintosh, plus additional distribution, security and flexibility options. With the release of InterLok for Macintosh 1.2, PACE Anti-Piracy adds specific product capabilities for the software rental marketplace, a fast-growing Internet commerce arena. ãInterLok has been setting the direction for electronic software distribution and anti-piracy solutions for more than a decade,ä said PACE President and CEO, Allen Cronce. ãSoftware rental presents a new revenue stream opportunity to software developers and publishers that we have addressed with this latest release. Our latest Macintosh product better enables our customers to take advantage of this new distribution mechanism securely and with the confidence that they have control over the use of their products in the global marketplace.ä There are several ways in which PACEâs customers are using InterLokâs software rental capabilities. One leading developer of high quality color separation tools has set up a debit account system for distributing their products. ãMany of our customers canât afford to buy our high-end product,ä said the president of this company, ãbut by delivering it over the Internet, we are able to allow them to purchase as many increments as they need, specify a time window in which they can use it, and for a minimal investment, they are able to try and use the best product we have available by Îchargingâ against their account for every use. In our experience, the distribution power of InterLok canât be matched. We have confidence in PACEâs software security technology and appreciate the flexibility it offers us.ä New Product Features In addition to its support of software rentals, the new version of InterLok for Macintosh includes the following new features:
