ElecKey R5 Releases
ElecKey 2.0.5.10
Sep 25, 2010
Improved reliability of accessing the Key system
The mechanism to access the Key system is improved that can help to solve the license issue on some machines, with the error messages such as "Key not found (HD)!" and "Error writing Key (HD)!".
Improved NetKey agent to make a connection to NetKey License Server (NKLS)
The NetKey agent (Nkag20.exe) no longer uses the ICMP protocol to ping the NKLS server before making a connection. Due to the fact that the server may have the ping service turned off or the ping packets may not get through the network, this could give a fault detection that the NKLS server is down.
Improved EXE Scramble and .NET Encryption methods against anti-virus software
The EXE Scramble and .NET Encryption shell protection methods are improved to avoid false alerts (such as Trojan) from some anti-virus software.
Improved end-user utilities against anti-virus software
ElecKey Integrator uses a new mechanism to build the end-user utilities including Register.exe, Remake.exe, Transfer.exe and Destroy.exe that can avoid false alerts (such as Trojan) from some anti-virus software.
