Aladdin Is The First Company To Announce Software Protection Solution For
Macintosh PowerPC Technology

March 1994 -- Tel-Aviv, IL - Following extensive field testing of MacHASP-
the Professional Software Protection System for the Macintosh, Aladdin
Knowledge Systems Ltd. recently announced a software protection solution
for developers developing applications that run on PowerPC-based Macintosh
computers.

Background

It is common knowledge that software piracy is as prevalent in the
Macintosh world, as in the realm of PCs. According to conservative
estimates, unauthorized use of Macintosh software causes annual losses
measured in the hundreds of millions of dollars, to software developers,
resellers, and the industry as a whole.

Aladdin's MacHASP is a hardware-based software protection device. Since
1991, MacHASP has offered hundreds of Macintosh software developers a
user-friendly and secure solution to the problem of piracy, and the
resulting loss of revenues.

MacHASP and the PowerPC 

Based on the success of comprehensive in-house testing, followed by further
field tests by company engineers, Aladdin has now announced MacHASP
support for Macintosh computers based on the PowerPC, the innovative
processor codeveloped by IBM, Apple and Motorola.

MacHASP currently supports PowerPC-based Macs running in 680x0 emulation
mode. Support for PowerPC-based Macs running in PowerPC native mode is
currently under development.

How does it work?

Each MacHASP key contains a unique electronic code, recognized by the
protected application. During runtime, the protected application checks
whether a MacHASP key with the appropriate code is connected to the Mac's
ADB port. If the key' s code is confirmed, the application can be
executive. If not, the application will not run.

MacHASP employs state-of-the-art ASIC technology with advanced software
anti-debugging and encryption mechanisms. The level of security obtained
is second to none, in addition to a high level of compatibility and
transparency. MacHASP is a fully Apple-licensed ADB device, which ensures
full compatibility with all Macintosh computers.

The MacHASP system supports a large variety of programming languages, on
all systems from System 6.05 and up, on all Macs from the Mac SE and up.
Solutions are also available for AppleTalk networks.

Prices

Prices for the various MacHASP model start at $US 29.00 per unit, including
all necessary software and documentation.
