CHICAGO, IL, Sep 08, 2008 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- Aladdin Knowledge Systems (ALDN:13.00, +0.18, +1.4%) , an information security leader specializing in authentication, software DRM and content security, today announced that Aladdin HASP SRM now offers an Envelope for automatic file wrapping of software developed for the Apple Macintosh operating system.

Software publishers developing software for Macs can now take advantage of the same automatic file wrapping capabilities that current HASP SRM Envelope customers use for Windows and Linux. Within minutes, the HASP SRM Envelope "wraps" applications with robust HASP SRM anti-piracy and intellectual property protection, which securely binds software to the HASP SRM USB-based hardware key to prevent unauthorized use and reverse engineering. The HASP SRM Envelope includes universal binary support and a GUI for increased ease-of-use.
"Aladdin is pleased to support software publishers using the three major operating systems by providing tools that save time and allow developers to focus on their core competencies," said Laila Arad-Allan, vice president of the software DRM business unit at Aladdin Knowledge Systems. "With Envelope support for Windows, Linux and now Mac, HASP SRM strengthens its market-leading position in the DRM market and reinforces its commitment to provide software developers the most advanced software protection and licensing solution."

Aladdin HASP SRM is available now and can be purchased through the worldwide network of Aladdin offices and authorized HASP distributors. The HASP SRM Developer Kit is available at no charge. Pricing for hardware- and software-based Protection Keys and product activations varies based on type and quantities selected. Current HASP SRM customers can download the Mac Envelope at no charge by downloading the update from the Aladdin website at USB Driver Downloads - HASP Drivers.
