ALADDIN ANNOUNCES HASP4 FOR MAC OS X
New time-tested software security solution for the Mac to offer protection
using one key, regardless of operating system or platform
CHICAGO – Aladdin Knowledge Systems (NASDAQ: ALDN), a global leader in the
field of Internet content and software security, has announced readiness of
HASP4 USB for Mac OS X. HASP4 is the latest hardware-based software
protection system designed to offer unparalleled security in a
multi-platform environment. Live demonstrations of the HASP4 solution for
Mac OS X took place at Aladdin’s MacWorld Booth.
Designed especially for Mac developers, HASP4 USB protects Mac OS X
applications, as well as applications for Win32 on PCs, thus providing a
more far-reaching hardware-based protection system. A single key can be
used to protect applications for either Mac or Windows, providing users of
both platforms with top security features within Aladdin’s field-proven
HASP4. Aladdin plans to deliver the new system following Apple’s upcoming
release of Mac OS X in early 2001.
“Aladdin’s HASP for Mac OS X serves not only as a strong protection system
for the Mac, but also as a versatile solution for vendors who deliver
products in the increasingly popular multi-platform environment,” said Doug
O’Connell, Vice President, Software Security at Aladdin. “The combination
of the platform-independent environment and support of Mac OS X, positions
HASP for the Mac as a trusted software solution for software firms already
protecting their software and those waiting on Mac OS X support.”
