Announcing CrypKey 6.1

Leading Software Security Firm Releases Advanced Security System

CrypKey Instant 6.1 and CrypKey SDK 6.1 Offer Individualized Security Options With Increased Hard Drive Compatibility

(July 22, 2003) - A new software-based security system offering increased reliability options for developers is officially on the market. Software security specialist CrypKey (Canada) Inc.'s new CrypKey 6.1--which features industry-first HDSN "CloneBuster" technology to avert hard drive copying--is designed to provide ease and efficiency in software license control and copy protection.

"CrypKey Instant and CrypKey SDK 6.1 are a fulfillment of the increased maturity in the security industry, with which we have been involved for more than a decade. Like all our products, it is designed to offer the latest technology and ease-of-use for both developers and end-users," notes CrypKey CEO Jim McCartney.

CrypKey Instant and CrypKey SDK 6.1's primary feature is compatibility with dynamic drives, RAID drives and Windows Server 2003. Beyond the benefit of ensuring that every copy of software is paid for and increasing market power by eliminating the possibility of piracy and product-sharing, version 6.1 also makes it possible for customers to individualize their security functions.

"With this unique software, customers can control every line of computer code including changes in authorization status such as limiting the number of calculations a user can perform by turning off their license when they arrive at 50 calculations, for example," explains McCartney.

CrypKey was the first company to develop a software-only based encryption method as an alternative to the more common hardware-based protection and developed the world's first "CloneBuster" embedded program offering stealth features. The usage of a hardware method (hardware keys or "dongles"), while still common, severely limits Internet usage for distribution, licensing and 24/7 automated e-commerce, according to McCartney. With this in mind, CrypKey designed its increasingly popular software model.

CrypKey (Canada) Inc. provides a full line of software copy protection and software authorization tools. CrypKey Instant and CrypKey SDK 6.1 and other CrypKey products are currently available worldwide in the United States and Canada, as well as Belgium, Brazil, France, Germany, India, Korea, the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, Singapore and Sweden. CrypKey products are also sold in numerous other countries including Japan, Mainland China, South Africa and the United Kingdom.

CrypKey (Canada) Inc. is the world leader in software copy protection and software authorization tools including "CloneBuster" technology, easy licensing, dynamic multi-key encryption and enhanced anti-hacking features for the vertical software market. Based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, CrypKey has 3,000+ clients including Cadence, Caterpillar, Du Pont, Eaton, Ericsson, Fujitsu, Honeywell, IBM, Microsoft, Minolta, Nokia, Microsoft, 3M and thousands more in 60 + countries.
