Solution: Serving an international customer base, Tiltan Systems Engineering Ltd. specializes in providing 2-D and 3-D visual solutions, as well as image generation systems and related applications. Tiltan’s topographical maps and visual simulations are used by commercial enterprises and national defense agencies alike to obtain tactical command and visual intelligence data, and to develop airplane, helicopter, and weapons systems simulations.

Software piracy and illegal use are major concerns for Tiltan. Originally, the company relied on copy protection software that had been developed in-house to secure its high-tech imaging systems. The in-house solution, however, was difficult to manage, and did not offer the level of security necessary to fully protect Tiltan’s products. The software company replaced its inadequate system with Aladdin’s HASP HL in 2001, but began searching for a more flexible DRM solution just a few years later. Tiltan needed a solution that would be able to accommodate the present and future needs of their software business.

After researching several digital rights management solution alternatives, Tiltan decided to stick with Aladdin, and upgraded to a more recent version of their current DRM software: HASP SRM. Tiltan’s decision was influenced by the enhanced features and flexibility of the newer version, as well as the protection and customer support they knew they would receive from Aladdin Knowledge Systems.

HASP SRM has offered Tiltan strong copy protection to combat piracy and illegal use, as well as unparalleled IP protection to prevent reverse engineering of code. Time-based licenses for trial versions of Tiltan’s software can be easily monitored and managed, and the HASP SRM Business Studio application provides comprehensive information about licensing and renewal trends, as well as data about individual customers. Using this data, Tiltan can customize packages and sales methods to appeal to individual clients. Finally, HASP SRM’s cross-locking technology allows for the effective enforcement of software licenses, a critical task for Tiltan Engineering Systems Ltd. and any other company that produces and distributes software.
