Known issues
------------

When running the Hardlock driver installer in a Terminal Server environment,
the aksdrvsetup.log file is generated in the current user’s directory.

If an Envelope-protected program is terminated and immediately relaunched, it will 
sometimes not start. Increasing the value of the "Maximum time to wait for device driver" 
to 3 seconds solves this issue. 

Data file filtering will sometimes not work on Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 1 
installed running McAfee 8.0 enterprise edition. To solve this issue, turn off the 
"Buffer overflow protection" setting. 

If you use USB hubs which do not comply with all specifications of the USB
standard, your Aladdin USB keys might occasionally lose their enumeration.
If you plan to use USB keys on Microsoft platforms, refer to the Hardware
Compatibility Lists at http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/hcl/default.mspx

Some USB controllers cause Microsoft platforms to hang or
display a blue screen. This problem is not related to Aladdin drivers.

There are known limitations with various PCMCIA card reader brands used
on AMD64 platforms. Check for chipset compatibility in the hardware
specifications provided by the manufacturer the of card reader.

Due to a problem with the hardware of the PCI crypto programmer card,
in some cases a Hardlock key will be recognized on the CPC address. However,
in this case encryption and read/write memory functions will fail.
To avoid this problem, you should explicitly set the search address for the Hardlock key.
