Title: SoftwarePassport v6.0.0 & Armadillo v6.00 released
The Silicon Realms Toolworks announces the immediate availability of SoftwarePassport/Armadillo v6.00, a major update that includes revised pricing for upgrades (see "Pricing and availability" below) and the following new features:- New protections -- which for security reasons we are not publicly disclosing -- are enabled by default for all programs that you protect with custom builds of SoftwarePassport/Armadillo version 6.0.
- The ability to set up keys to expire a certain number of days after they are created
- A subscription licensing option that allows customers to use a program for a set number of minutes or uses each month until the subscription expires
- Expanded support for USB hardware locking, as you no longer need to go through Digital River or one of its subsidiaries to obtain keys for this protection option
- Network licensing options in the SoftwarePassport interface, to match the ones that previously were available only in the Armadillo Classic interface
- An option that allows no more than one running copy of a program to display a "key expired" message at a time, which prevents conflicts that can cause keys to be lost
- An option for preventing problems related to Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) on Windows Vista
For more information on the enhancements and bug fixes in v6.00, see the revision histories in the help files ("SoftwarePassport User Guide" and "Armadillo Help").
