Product Overview
Hardlock is a versatile software and data protection system. It is based on a single API structure, which offers the advantage of all hardware modules responding to the same calls. This reduces the effort required for programmers and offers your customers a choice of the protection module, without having to alter your code. The special coding of Hardlock not only complements this versatility, but guarantees the unique coding of the ASIC and memory chips per vendor.
Note: SafeNet is committed to the continued production, technical support and device driver updates of Hardlock. The product has been succeeded by Sentinel HASP HL – a hardware protection key that offers new advanced technologies such as AES encryption, LicenseOnChip and UpdateOnChip to name but a few. This platform allows us to support new cutting-edge capabilities that are not possible with Hardlock as a platform. To assist customers in the migration from Hardlock to Sentinel HASP we provide a detailed migration guide available for download from our website, as well as professional services and specialized migration tools if the need arises.
