Title: Known Issues with SoftwarePassport/Armadillo v6.2.x
Since releasing SoftwarePassport/Armadillo v6.20 on October 29, we have received reports of some issues that we felt were important enough to point out in the interim while we work to fix them in our next release.
Version 6.20 was the first version that we had developed using Boost libraries. These libraries will extend our future capabilities in areas such as Unicode support, but they also introduced some compatibility issues that we will need to work out. Our Armadillo v6.22 release on November 5 corrected four bugs, and we are now working to address some additional issues that have come in since then.
The known issues at this time are:- There is a potential security issue related to the Stolen Codes feature. This issue has two parts:
- When opening a project, v6.2.x does not properly read stolen codes for unsigned, V2 or V3 keys. (Short V3 keys are not affected.) If you then protect a program, it will not recognize stolen keys for the three key types previously noted. This issue will occur even if you never save the project.
- Saving a project (whether created with v6.2.x or an earlier version) corrupts any Stolen Codes lists that have been set up. If you close that project and later open and use it to protect a program, that program will not recognize any of the stolen codes. (You can work around this issue by using the SoftwarePassport interface to save the projects, instead of Armadillo Classic.)
- There is a possibility that starting an Open or Save dialog will hang a protected program. (* See the work-around below.)
If any of these issues affect your work processes, let us know and we can provide you with a pre-release build as soon as one is ready. You can contact us at support@siliconrealms.com to request a pre-release build.
* To work around the issue of protected programs hanging when starting Open or Save dialogs, make sure that comctl32.dll and ole32.dll are not in the list of DLLs to intercept, or set DLL interception to none.
