HASP-Driver

History of HASP License Managers Versions since Version 6.0 =========================================================== This list includes improvements, bug fixes, and other relevant information. It is arranged in descending chronological order. HASP LM Win32 V8.31 =================== New features ------------ When using HASP API 8.10 or newer on the client side, two new error messages are available: OLD_SERVER_DRIVER - The machine running HASP LM has an old driver installed NO_SERVER_DRIVER - The machine running HASP LM has no driver installed Setup automatically opens port 475 in Windows XP firewall (optional). HASP License Manager is installed as a service by default when running setup on Windows 2000/XP. Userlist default size was changed to 250, to meet the maximum number of recommended concurrent users. Bug fixes --------- TD#1746 Monitor loses LMs view after several hours. TD#1522 Buffer overflow on host with more than 4 IP addresses. TD#1866 HASP HL Net client sometimes disconnects from the LM. Known Issues ------------ The nhsrv.ini file parser does not always report syntax errors, and sometimes ignores erroneous values and continues with defaults. TD#2330 Can't run setup from a CD. Copy lmsetup.exe to the local machine before executing. Supported Platforms ------------------- Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 2003 Server. Note: HASP4 Users that run old operating systems should use HASP LM verion 8.20 or older. V8.30 ===== New features ------------ Supports new HASP HL functionality (feature 0, AES encryption, key type and memory size functions). Bug fixes --------- The GUI logs show server names and NetBIOS names again (these entries were missing in 8.30) Specifying a NetBIOS name (NHS_NBNAME) in nhsrv.ini generates a correct name entry again. An incorrect name was generated in 8.20; as a result, the LM could not be found by an old NetBIOS client when a NetBIOS name was specified. V8.20 ===== HASP LM Win32 V8.20 =================== New features ------------ Support for command line switches has been discontinued, the HASP License Manager is now configured via the nhsrv.ini file. See the HASP Programmer's Guide for complete listing and details of the nhsrv.ini file settings. Supports network packets used by new client APIs (version 8.01 and above). Supports new AKSMON requests to speed up AKSMON performance. Note ---- This release of the HASP License Manager is for Win32 only. (HASP CD Rel 11.2) ================== HASP LM Win32 Installer ======================= The Installer (lmsetup.exe) now supports German language. It also will install a German Help file on a German language system. V8.09 (HASP CD Rel 11.1) ======================== HASP LM Win32 V8.09 =================== Problems solved --------------- Case 3738: HASP LM does not function properly with the NetBIOS protocol: When the nethasp.ini file is customized with specific settings and when one of the users performs a logout, the LM denies further application access to all other logged-in users. V8.08 (HASP CD Rel 11.0) ======================== HASP LM Win32 V8.08 =================== New features ------------ The new HASP Win32 LM fully supports Windows XP. Problems solved --------------- Case 3717 LM instability on several Windows2000 systems. Note ---- In the nhsrv.ini file the "10.1.1.1-3" (range) and "!10.1.1.1" (deny) notations are not supported by LM 8.08. A new notation is supported which allows specifying arbitrary subnet masks: "10.1.1.1/24". The "/24" specifies the number of one-bits (starting at the left) of the subnet mask. E.g. "/24" defines a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, "/27" defines a subnet mask of 255.255.255.224. For example: I'd like to allow the LM to serve stations with the following range of IP addresses: 10.24.3.8 - 10.24.3.15 10 . 24 . 3 . 8 00001010 00011000 00000011 00001000 == 10.24.3.8 00001010 00011000 00000011 00001111 == 10.24.3.15 \ / \------------ 29 Bits -------------/ 29 Bits are the same, means 10.24.3.8/29 V8.04 (HASP CD Rel 9.0) ======================= HASP LM Win32 V8.04 =================== New features ------------ The new HASP Win32 LM includes some minor internal changes. In addition, a problem when running on Citrix Winframe or NT Terminal Server was fixed. The HASP LM for Windows 3.x and the HASP LM for OS/2 are discontinued. Problems solved --------------- Case 3696 Visual Basic LM install sample did not work from VB IDE. The LM Install API function have not been defined as standard call. New functions defined as stdcall have been added. Please refer to the VB implementation for usage of the new functions. V8.0 (HASP CD Rel 8.0) ====================== NetHASP License Manager now fully supports the new HASP4 family of keys. Problems Solved =============== Case 1970: NetHASP license restrictions were ineffective against Terminal Server applications like Citrix Winframe and NT Terminal Server. In these cases, users were able to run a terminal session without it being monitored as an additional simultaneous activation. V7.0 (HASP CD Rel 7.0) April 1, 1999 ==================================== In this upgrade of the NetHASP License Manager there are two major developments. First, there is a new, GUI- based setup utility. With it, you can install the 32- bit NetHASP License Manager. It supports Windows 95/98 and NT. Second, the NetHASP License Manager is now a Windows NT service. If you install the NetHASP License Manager as a service, it launches before NT logon and continues to run after NT logoff. With this latter change, there are now two executables: one is the standard NetHASP License Manager, and the other is the NetHASP License Manager as a Windows NT service. You can install either with the new setup program. You can also use a custom API to install the NetHASP License Manager as a service. Note that you cannot install the NetHASP License Manager as an NT service through the command line. New Features ============ New NetHASP License Manager Setup Utility With the new NetHASP License Manager GUI-based setup utility, you can install the 32-bit NetHASP License Manager under Windows 95/98 and NT. NetHASP License Manager Windows NT Service (Case #2253) You can now install the NetHASP License Manager as a full NT Service. In previous versions, a logout would terminate the NetHASP License Manager. This upgrade ensures that the NetHASP License Manager remains active throughout successive logins. Only the custom installation API can remove it. NetHASP License Manager in System Tray (Case #3272) Now the NetHASP License Manager icon is in the system tray rather than on the task bar. Double-clicking this icon shows or hides the main window of the NetHASP License Manager. If you close this main window, the program continues running and its icon remains in the system tray. To unload the program, choose "Exit" from the main menu. New Switch Secures Administrator Privileges (Case #2660) The new command-line switch, -admin, permits only NT administrators to unload the NetHASP License Manager service under Windows NT. Other users are denied the ability to do so. NetHASP License Manager Custom Installation API This upgrade adds a set of API functions to allow developers to incorporate in their code the installation and removal of the NetHASP License Manager Windows NT service. This API handles only registry entries, and does not copy any files. The functions offered by the new DLL (nhlminst.dll) include: HaspLMInstall(), HaspLMRemove(), HaspLMInfo() and HaspLMLastError(). To enable UninstallShield to automatically call the DLL, we
