HASP HL Driver Command-line Installer: Readme

The list below includes new HASP HL Device Driver features, improvements, issues addressed, and other relevant information. It is arranged in descending chronological order.

Note:

The installer detects the version of the operating system at run-time, before installing the relevant drivers.

Upgrade Note

When upgrading the driver, ensure that no running service is using the driver. Although the installation program terminates applications that are accessing the driver, it does not terminate running services. For example, if the HASP License Manager is running as a service, you must stop the service before upgrading the driver.

Version 5.22 (December 2006)

Supported Platforms

Windows x86 and x64

Enhancements

Support for Windows Vista x86 and x64 operating systems.
Win32 HASP HL Envelope-protected applications that use DataHASP or overlays can now run on Win x64 operating systems.
Includes MS-signed drivers for all operating systems.

By default, the Vista operating system displays a User Account Control message during driver installation. The user must click Continue to continue the installation. Alternatively, the user can change the default setting from the Control Panel of their Vista operating system.

Limitations

To run Win32 HASP HL Envelope-protected applications that use DataHASP or overlays on Windows x64 operating systems, you must install the drivers using a HASP HL installer utility. Drivers installed using Windows Update do not enable DataHASP and overlay functionality for these applications.
When using Win32 HASP HL Envelope-protected applications using DataHASP or overlays that run on Windows x64 operating systems, to prevent possible data loss you must unmap any memory-mapped files prior to closing the application.
This driver does not support Win32 HASP HL Envelope v.1.11 for .NET Framework 2.0-protected applications that run on Win x64 operating systems.

Known Issue

Ref # 5116: When using DataHASP protection on an x64 operating system, and using an anti-virus application, data may be lost.
