Aladdin Announces HASP SRM v 2.50 - Ground-Breaking Automatic Intellectual Property Protection for Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 Applications

CHICAGO, September 4, 2007 - Aladdin Knowledge Systems (NASDAQ: ALDN), the leader in Software DRM, USB-based authentication and secure Web gateways, today announced general availability of HASP SRM v 2.50. Aladdin's market-leading and award-winning software rights management solution stands as the industry's first software protection and licensing system that offers customers both hardware- and software-based security from a single solution. HASP SRM V2.50 now incorporates several new features to secure software across an even greater variety of platforms, including .NET Framework 3.0. HASP SRM v 2.50 also offers easy integration of HASP SRM licensing processes with existing ERP/CRM systems, as well as significant enhancements to license-monitoring and management tools for system administrators and end users.

Unique Method-Level Protection for Microsoft .NET Applications

HASP SRM v 2.50's Envelope-a powerful, automatic protection tool for software developers-significantly increases flexibility and the security of .NET applications. The .NET Envelope for Framework 3.0 enables HASP to automatically protect software to the Method-level and assign licenses to chosen Methods on Frameworks 2.0 and 3.0. Method-level encryption is the highest level of security available in a DRM product. Using the HASP SRM v 2.50 Envelope, a click of the mouse enables software vendors to apply automatic protection and licensing to each Method individually - a unique and powerful capability that no longer requires developers to access the software source code to incorporate calls to the protection system. Aladdin HASP SRM v 2.50 protects .NET Framework 2.0 and 3.0 .EXE and .DLL files via the HASP HL or HASP SL key.

Business Studio Server API

HASP SRM Business StudioTM Server is a powerful role-based business tool for managing the software license lifecycle. Aladdin HASP SRM v 2.50 includes a Business Studio Server API that enables software publishers to integrate Business Studio functionality into the ISV's back-end CRM and ERP systems, including the ability to create license orders, produce license updates and product keys, as well as track customer records. Since the software licensing and sales processes are integrated using the HASP SRM Business Studio API, publishers gain richer, centralized customer information - easily viewing software and license usage data to assist in additional sales.

Enhanced Admin Control Center Tool

The Admin Control Center is a multi-purpose monitoring and management tool designed to facilitate the software licensing process for both end users and software vendors. Greatly streamlining software vendors' support tasks, a new Admin Control Center Diagnostics component provides the ability to view and extract operating information to assist in the troubleshooting and diagnosis of problems, as well as the ability to generate diagnostic reports in HTML or XML formats.

"HASP SRM v 2.50 greatly increases the breadth of HASP SRM's digital rights management capabilities, providing software developers with an even more inclusive software security solution to address their evolving needs," said Avi Barir, vice president of software DRM for Aladdin Knowledge Systems. "Featuring capabilities not offered by competitive solutions, HASP has maintained its position at the forefront of the DRM market due to Aladdin's consistent commitment to anticipating the needs of software developers."
