│║│ │║│
│║│ armadillo is a powerful license manager and software protection │║│
│║│ system. it wraps around your program like an armored shell, │║│
│║│ defending your work from pirates and program crackers while │║│
│║│ enforcing your license agreement. it allows you to add a complete │║│
│║│ ready-made registration-key and software protection system to │║│
│║│ your existing programs in five minutes or less -- source code is │║│
│║│ not required! it works with almost any 32-bit windows exe, dll, │║│
│║│ ocx, or screen saver file, regardless of the language it was │║│
│║│ written in. │║│
│║│ │║│
│║│ the power and flexibility of armadillo come from its license │║│
│║│ management model. you decide, when you release your program, how │║│
│║│ it will be licensed -- armadillo offers a number of options, │║│
│║│ including unlimited licenses, time-limited licenses (which expire │║│
│║│ a certain number of days after the user first runs them), │║│
│║│ date-limited licenses (which expire on a certain date, the date │║│
│║│ can be either hard-coded into the program or placed in the key), │║│
│║│ and usage-limited licenses (which expire after a certain number │║│
│║│ of runs or after using some function a certain number of times). │║│
│║│ │║│
│║│ the program's license certificates are embedded in the program │║│
│║│ itself when armadillo encrypts it. they can only be decrypted │║│
│║│ using the keys you select, by means of an encryption template (a │║│
│║│ word or phrase that you keep secret) -- no information built into │║│
│║│ the program can decrypt a license file without the proper key. │║│
│║│ and if anyone tries to patch the armadillo code to bypass the │║│
│║│ license-check, the program can't be decrypted -- it requires │║│
│║│ information stored in the license certificate. │║│
│║│ │║│
│║│ armadillo supports several different kinds of licenses, including │║│
│║│ temporary (time-limited) and demonstration/limited usage. each │║│
│║│ kind of license requires a different key to decrypt, meaning that │║│
│║│ even if someone were able to crack the protection scheme, they │║│
│║│ would still be unable to forge a permanent license key without │║│
│║│ first buying your program. and they can't get away with buying a │║│
│║│ key and then immediately getting their money back, either; when a │║│
│║│ user first purchases the program, you can send them a temporary │║│
│║│ key which will only work for a limited time (such as the │║│
│║│ charge-back period for credit card purchases or the time it takes │║│
│║│ for their check to clear). if the check doesn't clear, or they │║│
│║│ demand their money back within that time period, the key will │║│
│║│ expire and they'll be no better off than they were. if all goes │║│
│║│ well, you send them a permanent key after you've safely gotten │║│
│║│ your money. │║│
│║│ │║│
│║│ your program can be released on cd-rom, disk, via the internet, │║│
│║│ or any other way you wish. you will only need one version of your │║│
│║│ program to handle all of the different license models! when a │║│
│║│ user pays for your software, you only need to give him a key │║│
│║│ (something like "a1b2-c3d4-e5f6-7890"), which you can generate │║│
│║│ either by hand (using armadillo) or by program (using the │║│
│║│ codegen.dll supplied with it). because of its format, keys can be │║│
│║│ given easily by telephone, fax, or e-mail. you can also set up │║│
│║│ your program so it doesn't need a key to get a trial version, by │║│
│║│ using a default key which armadillo checks for if it can't find │║│
│║│ another one, so your user doesn't even have to worry about │║│
│║│ getting or entering a key until he decides to purchase your │║│
│║│ program. │║│
│║│ │║│
│║│ setting up armadillo is a snap! a dialog-based system allows you │║│
│║│ to change any of its settings, no messy text configuration files │║│
│║│ involved. guided examples show you the most common features of │║│
│║│ armadillo and how to use them; you can have your armadillo system │║│
│║│ ready to run in as little as five minutes. once it's set up, a │║│
│║│ single command (which can be given using the graphical interface │║│
│║│ or by the command line) will protect your software. │║│
│║│ │║│
│║│ armadillo will work with or without support by your program. if │║│
│║│ you use a third-party program to create yours (such as an e-book │║│
│║│ program, a screen-saver toolkit, or a music system), armadillo │║│
│║│ can handle all the license-management details without the actual │║│
│║│ program knowing anything about it. or, if you prefer, you can │║│
│║│ integrate armadillo's licensing into your program and handle │║│
│║│ everything yourself. │║│
│║│ │║│
│║│ armadillo's keys are based on a word or phrase that you select │║│
│║│ (known as an "encryption template"). this secret word or phrase │║│
│║│ is what makes armadillo's licenses secure -- without it, no one │║│
│║│ (including us!) can access the details of your license, or your │║│
│║│ program. │║│
│║│ │║│
│║│ armadillo keys can be generated by most of the online │║│
│║│ software-purchase systems with little or no effort. if your │║│
│║│ favorite system does not support armadillo yet, please ask them │║│
│║│ to contact us, and we will provide them with the necessary files │║│
│║│ free of charge. │║│
│║│ │║│
│║│ whats new in v3 series │║│
│║│ ---------------------- │║│
│║│ . added five new levels of signed v3 keys │║│
│║│ . added network card mac address and physical memory size to the │║│
│║│ list of options for the hardware fingerprint │║│
│║│ . extended the extra info field to 16 bits for unsigned keys and │║│
│║│ older expire-by-uses signed keys with the expiration data in │║│
│║│ the certificate, and 32 bits for all others (it was previously │║│
│║│ fifteen bits for all keys) │║│
│║│ . added user-defined bit labels. the labels can be different for │║│
│║│ each certificate │║│
│║│ . added an option to disable the register command-line parameter, │║│
│║│ for customers who want to force people to use their own enter │║│
│║│ key dialogs instead of armadillo's default one │║│
│║│ . added up to five secondary files-to-protect. secondary files │║│
│║│ are only supported for protection; all other functions will │║│
│║│ ignore them. armadillo supported secondary files before, but it │║│
│║│ wasn't official or documented │║│
│║│ . changed the *.arm project file format. the project files now │║│
│║│ use the standard windows ini format, and can be modified easily │║│
│║│ by external programs. all previous *.arm files can still be │║│
│║│ read, but only the new format will be written; armadillo will │║│
│║│ ask permission to make a backup of your old file before │║│
│║│ converting it to the new format. please note: armadillo does │║│
│║│ not attempt to check the validity of the options in the file. │║│
│║│ . added the option to compress resources (in the professional │║│
│║│ edition only) │║│
│║│ . enhanced the relative sizes display, to display the resource │║│
│║│ and data-after-program portions separately, and changed the │║│
│║│ color scheme so that colors shown on the uncompressed bar are │║│
│║│ now also used on the compressed one for the same data │║│
│║│ . permanently fixed the "limited accounts" problem under windows │║│
│║│ nt4/2000/xp by requiring write-access to the new main registry │║│
│║│ key. if the user doesn't have permission to set write-access on │║│
│║│ it, your program will ask him to run it from the administrator │║│
│║│ account to set it up (this is only required the first time an │║│
│║│ armadillov3-protected program is run, after that the access │║│
│║│ will be available to all armadillo-protected programs). │║│
│║│ . you can now store the number of copies (either in the key or in │║│
│║│ the certificate) and use the don't-check-copies-on-startup │║│
│║│ option at the same time, as requested by several customers │║│
│║│ . added the setuserstring, getuserstring, and vbgetuserstring │║│
│║│ functions to armaccess.dll (professional edition only). these │║│
│║│ functions allow your program to store and retrieve up to eight │║│
│║│ strings of 255 characters each, which will stay on the machine │║│
│║│ between runs, securely stored against user-tampering along with │║│
│║│ armadillo's own key-code information │║│
│║│ . added multiple language capability for the expiration, │║│
│║│ reminder, and limit install time messages, by request. when you │║│
│║│ change the language for a project, you can now specify a │║│
│║│ different set of messages for each of these. this feature is │║│
│║│ meant to be used with the command-line language override │║│
│║│ (/language=) added in 2.85 │║│
│║│ . the nanomites option is now visible in public builds. the code │║│
│║│ to support it will still only be available in custom builds │║│
│║│ . you can now tell your protected programs the name and key to │║│
│║│ register on the command line, via the register command. just │║│
│║│ use it like so: "yourprogram.exe register " │║│
│║│ (without the quotation marks). do not use quotation marks │║│
│║│ around the name or key either; armadillo will take care of it │║│
│║│ │║│
│║│ whats new in v3.05 │║│
│║│ ------------------ │║│
│║│ since the 3.05 version, we've only added a couple of new │║│
│║│ features. the major one is the new compression code for the │║│
│║│ 'better' and 'best' compression levels -- it is far faster than │║│
│║│ the previous code, and compresses better as well (though it's │║│
│║│ also larger). since the 3.10 beta-2 version, we've only fixed a │║│
│║│ couple bugs, and improved the 'best' compression level a little │║│
│║│ more. │║│
│║│ │║│
│║│ we've also fixed several bugs, mostly minor, and made some other │║│
│║│ changes for compatibility and security reasons. │║│
│║│ │║│
│║│ we were hoping to finish the key-log viewer in this version, but │║│
│║│ while we were able to get it working, getting it working right │║│
│║│ will take a little longer. we've removed it until we have the │║│
│║│ time to work on it. │║│

│║│ another funny quote from srt support forum.. │║│
│║│ │║│
│║│ possibly customer │║│
│║│ ----------------- │║│
│║│ have the similar quesion - now i'm thinking about software │║│
│║│ protection and finally found armadillo. it looks pretty good. but │║│
│║│ i've heard that there is a keygenerator for armadillo ever for │║│
│║│ latest versions. is it true or not? i'm not afraid of cracks - │║│
│║│ it's normal but keygenerators are very dangerous. is it possible │║│
│║│ to write keygenerators for protected programms or not??? │║│
│║│ │║│
│║│ Chad Nelson (Armadillo Lead Developer) │║│
│║│ -------------------------------------- │║│
│║│ sure it's possible, but it's not easy, even with the weaker │║│
│║│ signed keys. there's only one cracker who has found a way to make │║│
│║│ false keys for armadillo's signed key system, and we're dealing │║│
│║│ with him, and the method he used. │║│
│║│ │║│
│║│ possibly customer │║│
│║│ ----------------- │║│
│║│ it seems all 'dream team' crackers group know how to write │║│
│║│ keygenerators for protected applications. i'm sure it's not only │║│
│║│ one man yesterday i've done small research and found that there │║│
│║│ is the keygenerator for very long signed keys that looks like │║│
│║│ │║│
│║│ xxxx-xxxx-23ac-0f0e-9a1f-f4a5-a6c5-5b68-b694-ec10-3873-f389-070f- │║│
│║│ xxxx-xxxx │║│
│║│ │║│
│║│ this key is for dvdidle pro v2.16 dated 05/27/2003. pretty fresh, │║│
│║│ isn't it? │║│
│║│ │║│
│║│ armadillo help file report that crackers need more that 10 000 │║│
│║│ years in order to calculate such long keys. so it is not true???? │║│
│║│ if so why do you write so? may be crackers have time machine? │║│
│║│ │║│
│║│ i'll wait until you guys can fix this problem with registration │║│
│║│ keys. please report about this on this forum. good luck. │║│

│║│ "dream team" seems to be one angry guy with delusions of │║│
│║│ adequacy, trying to make himself look big by calling himself a │║│
│║│ group. │║│
│║│ │║│
│║│ possibly customer │║│
│║│ ----------------- │║│
│║│ great! you write in armadillo help file that there wasn't any │║│
│║│ problem with armadillo security, cracker's attacks and crackers │║│
│║│ need 100000 years in order to produce false registration keys but │║│
│║│ really they can produce keygenerators quickly and easily. why │║│
│║│ does armadillo help file lies? if i decide to use armadillo - why │║│
│║│ i have to compare official armadillo help information to others │║│
│║│ "#sources and find the truth????? │║│
│║│ │║│
│║│ it doesn't matter what do you think about this guy(s) - while he │║│
│║│ (they) can produce keygenerators for protecrted applications - it │║│
│║│ kills _all_ armadillo security. │║│
│║│ │║│
│║│ Chad Nelson (Armadillo Lead Developer) │║│
│║│ -------------------------------------- │║│
│║│ *one* cracker has found a way to produce key generators. we don't │║│
│║│ know how quickly or easily he does it, he's been keeping that │║│
│║│ carefully hidden so it takes us longer to find how he's doing it. │║│
│║│ i believe the problem is fixed now, but we won't be able to tell │║│
│║│ for sure until the next version of armadillo is out -- that's all │║│
│║│ i can say for the moment. │║│
│║│ │║│
│║│ │║│
│║│ hmm, maybe its time stop fuck with yours customers man! │║│
│║│ │║│
│║│ │║│
│║│ special note for "cracker" Nicolas Brulez, man..stop fuckin' with │║│
