List of HASP HL Device Driver Versions since 5.10 (July 2004) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The following list includes improvements, bug fixes, and other relevant information. It is arranged in descending chronological order. Version 5.12 (January 2005) ====================== New features ------------ Drivers have been signed for Windows 2000. Problems Solved ---------------------- Case TD #268 After several launches, protected data files set to "Read-only" failed to open. Case TD #1557 After installing Norton Antivirus 2005, wrapped applications using DataHasp crash. Version 5.11 (Sept 2004) ==================== New features ------------ The drivers included support the HASP API version 8.0 onwards and all Hardlock API versions. In order to run HASP Applications with API versions before 8.0, you must also install the corresponding HASP driver for each API version. Problems Solved --------------- Case TD #303 Double generation of log files during installation. Case TD #405 Wrong copyright string. Case TD #503 Older device driver installations overwrote the newly installed HASP HL drivers. Case TD #524 Applications protected with overlay support crashed. Case TD #710 Obsolete dialog displayed during installation. Case TD #742 "Aladdin Knowledge Systems Key 00" instead of "Aladdin Knowledge Systems Key" in Device Manager. Case TD #826 Errors lacked error strings. Case TD #895 User not prompted to insert key during installation. Case TD #993 Win9X consecutive (legacy) logins to parallel keys failed. Version 5.10 (July 2004) Known Issues ------------------- The driver installer, haspdinst.exe, does not install drivers on Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 95 platforms. HASP HL drivers are not available for DOS applications. To run protected DOS applications you must install the corresponding HASP driver. Under Windows XP, a HASP HL key must have been previously connected to the computer to enable haspdinst.exe to display the correct HASP HL drivers version. Under Windows 9x/ME, HL-Server won't detect Hardlock Server USB keys. You should install the required Hardlock drivers. When running the HASP HL driver installer in a Terminal Server environment, the aksdrvsetup.log file is generated in the current user’s directory. Older device driver installations sometimes overwrite the HASP HL drivers. You should run the haspdinst installer (haspdinst.exe -i) to fix the HASP HL installation. This scenario is only relevant for Windows XP/2003 platforms. The current version of the drivers does not support applications wrapped with HASP HL Envelope with overlay encryption enabled. Should you attempt to start these applications, your system will crash and display a blue screen. If you use USB hubs which do not comply with all specifications of the USB standard, your Aladdin USB keys might occasionally lose their enumeration. If you plan to use USB keys on Microsoft platforms, refer to the Hardware Compatibility Lists at http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/hcl/default.mspx Some USB controllers cause Microsoft platforms to hang or display a blue screen. This problem is not related to Aladdin drivers. There are known limitations with various PCMCIA card reader brands used on AMD64 platforms. Check for chipset compatibility in the hardware specifications provided by the manufacturer the of card reader. Due to a problem with the hardware of the PCI crypto programmer card, in some cases a Hardlock key will be recognized on the CPC address, however, encryption and read/write memory functions will fail. To avoid this problem, you should explicitly set the address where to search for the Hardlock key.
