Aladdin Wins Contract to Protect World's Largest Artistic CAD/CAM Software Supplier

CHICAGO, August 31, 2005, - Aladdin Knowledge Systems Ltd. (NASDAQ: ALDN), the worldwide leader in Software Digital Rights Management (DRM) and USB-based authentication solutions, and a leading innovator in enterprise secure content management, today announced that French-based Vision numeric, a global specialist in artistic CAD/CAM software, selected Aladdin HASP® HL, the most widely adopted hardware-based software protection and licensing solution, to protect its vast range of products against piracy.

Vision numeric, one of Europe's leading providers of powerful software used for typographic engraving and sculpture, looked to improve both its service quality and efficiency by securing its software license management, notably in sensitive regions such as Asia. With the involvement of Aladdin's development, sales and technical support teams, the integration of HASP HL with Vision numeric's software was quick, allowing the first installations in the beginning of 2005.

"With more than 30,000 software licenses distributed in more than 30 countries, license control and protection is a priority for Vision numeric," said Séverine Besson, marketing manager for Vision numeric. "The Aladdin HASP HL keys helped us secure our software licenses both quickly and efficiently, which is essential for our worldwide sales. The technical reliability and speed of integration with Aladdin HASP were the determining factors for our choice."

"Software protection is a priority for companies that are looking for better control over the distribution of their software, especially in areas with increasing levels of piracy," said Avi Barir, vice president of Software Digital Rights Management at Aladdin Knowledge Systems. "We are delighted to bring a reliable, robust and easy-to-use solution to Vision numeric, and help them increase their sales and profits while reducing the amount of unpaid pirated copies of their software products."
