Aladdin HASP SRM Adds Linux Support

Aladdin Knowledge Systems, an information security provider specialising in authentication, software DRM and content security, has announced that Aladdin HASP SRM, the first fully-integrated software- and hardware-based copy protection and licensing solution, now supports Linux.

Software publishers developing products for the Linux operating system can now take advantage of cross-locking capabilities that combine copy protection, IP protection, and secure licensing using HASP SRM hardware-based security for individual keys or product activation in a network environment. Featuring both a protection API and a Linux Envelope for automatic file-wrapping, HASP SRM provides publishers of Linux applications with a new level of software security. Software developers currently using HASP HL for Linux will also gain a significant increase in security with HASP SRM.

“By adding Linux support to the already available Windows and Mac OS support, the company aims to provide a business-enabling software DRM solution to developers using all major operating systems,” said Shailendra Sahasrabudhe, country manager, Aladdin Knowledge Systems, India.
