Aladdin Knowledge Systems (http://www.aladdin.com) has announced the
general availability of HASP SRM 4.0, the latest version of the
company's integrated software protection and licensing solution. The
upgrade sports a new portfolio of language interfaces, Mac and
expanded Windows OS support, and heightened performance for the
solution's Business Studio management platform.

With added support for three new languages, HASP SRM's new
localization features enhance the end-user experience and simplify
software licensing development, deployment and management for
software publishers, according to the folks at Aladdin. The HASP SRM
Admin Control Center enables software publishers selling globally to
provide Chinese, Italian, and Japanese speaking IT administrators at
end-user sites to more easily understand, manage, monitor and
maintain their software licenses.

In addition, HASP SRM now supports software-based licensing, locking,
and product activation for software publishers' Intel-based Mac
applications, providing flexible software licensing options for
enablement of new business models. With this release, HASP SRM
supports a variety of CrossLocking licensing models for the Mac, now
enabling customers to separate the protection process from business
processes.

With HASP SRM 4.0, business decision-makers can select which type of
HASP SRM Protection Keys (hardware or software-based) and which
license models to apply to each product after the software has been
protected by the engineering team. HASP SRM 4.0 also includes a range
of new features designed to reduce operating costs and improve
efficiencies. Contact Aladdin Knowledge Systems for pricing options.
