\nA licensing problem has been fixed which has led to instability in the licensing on certain systems.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\nVersion 2.1.1 (released: January 18th 2016)<\/h3>\n
\nA login to a network drive which was encrypted using HiCrypt™ can now be forced with a Windows Registry setting. Thus the login dialog can not be canceled. Only a successful login with HiCrypt™ closes the dialog.<\/p>\n
\nThere was a problem with files whos sizes were growing very fast because of logging some HiCrypt™ status information. These information will now be suppressed. So the files will no longer contain these status information.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\nVersion 2.1.0 (released: November 23rd 2015)<\/h3>\n
\nHiCrypt™ will be deactivated during uninstallation. This also works with a Proxy server. But only licenses being not limited in time can be deactivated. The result of that deactivation will be displayed to the user at the end of the uninstallation process. Additionally an according entry in the Windows Eventlog will be created in the Application section.<\/p>\nVersion 2.0.6 (released: September 30th 2015)<\/h3>\n
\nThere was a problem while accessing the activation server during online activation. This problem has been resolved.<\/p>\n
\nA problem while changing a password and using a token at the same time has been resolved. Additionally the token “YubiKey NEO” and “YubiKey NEO-n” can now be used with HiCrypt™.<\/p>\n
\nThe setting for saving credentials to access a HiCrypt™-encrypted network drive will work again.<\/p>\n
\nStability issues using PeerLock have been resolved.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\nVersion 2.0.4 (released: July 1st 2015)<\/h3>\n
\nFor logging in to HiCrypt™-encrypted network drives you can now use security token (smartcards and so on). This function requires the feature “Token support” which has to be ordered with costs. Using this feature the access to encrypted data can be combined with the requirement of a security token. Thus HiCrypt™ 2.0 provides an even higher security for your confidential data.
\nUsing this feature is downwards compatible. Network drives, which have been encrypted using an older version of HiCrypt™ can be upgrade in a few steps.<\/p>\n
\nHiCrypt™ 2.0 now supports the use of security policies – more exactly password policies and login policies. Thus password policies known from the operating system just like the periodically change of passwords or the complexity requirements for new passwords can be applied. At the same time logging in to a HiCrypt™-encrypted network drive can be defined to enforce using a security token. Required for this function is the feature “Token support” which has to be ordered with costs.<\/p>\n
\nSo far user of HiCrypt™ can log in to HiCrypt™-encrypted network drives using stored credentials. These credentials can already be secured using a PIN (the HiCrypt™ PIN). Now the security will increased again. If the PIN is entered once it is only valid for 30 seconds. After this time the PIN has to be entered again if required.<\/p>\n
\nUsing Windows 8.1 there was a problem when shutting down the computer while using encrypted network drives being connected to DFS shares. Additionally there was a problem with the used version of the network protocol (SMB). All these problems have be solved.<\/p>\n

\nThe starting procedure of HiCrypt™ has been modified. Thus HiCrypt™ starts faster and more reliable. The effect showing HiCrypt™ as minimized windows after startup is additionally removed.<\/p>\n
\nHiCrypt™ is basically downwards compatible. This has almost been implemented in previous versions. Now there have been modifications to better realize previous and newer versions and to make these version differences more clearly in the user interface. That means in these cases the user experience has been dramatically improved to prevent missleading appearences in the user interface.<\/p>\n

An internet browser is required for this feature as well as an established internet connection because the information of the Online Information System are hosted by the HiCrypt™ homepage.
