"[...] On another note, I wanted to say thanks to all of you for providing such a fantastic product with such amazing support -- it's such a rare experience these days to do business with people who are not only competent (not to mention experts at what they do), but who are also genuine, practical and have integrity. Whenever I work with your product or get questions answered (via e-mail or by perusing the forums or help file) it's a breath of fresh air."

"I just wanted to say that guys, after using your software in the last period we really regret wasting much of our time and money with other security software and components packages. We really wished we knew you long time ago."

"I have now used Armadillo in one year and I must say that Armadillo is effective VERY EFFECTIVE.

Before I start to use Armadillo I found unlock keys and key generators to my best programs on same cracking site. I am not a big programmer and I am not making "killer" programs. Only small (low cost) Swedish programs for Swedish uses. Anyway I found my programs on foreign cracking site.

After I start to protect all my programs with Armadillo I have found nothing on any cracking site.

Non of my programs has been cracked since I start to protect them with Armadillo. [...] Thank you for Armadillo. Everyone on Silicon Realms Toolworks has make a very great job."

"I am writing to thank you for your fantastic support and assistance. Gary has managed to accelerate our licensing development schedule with Armadillo and with your assistance [...] We have been absolutely struggling with our licensing strategy as I'm sure so many of your customers have as well, and I am relieved that we seem to have finally found a solution, together with a great support team that really defines the product (we've checked em all out - ASProtect, WinGuard, etc....)."

"You deserve success. Armadillo has saved me tens of thousands in lost revenue from crackers. [...] We were getting cracked every couple of months despite our own anticracking code and tricks. I still use them all, but wrap the programs with Armadillo and we haven't been cracked since."

"Our software was protected via a product from one of Armadillo's competitors. Armadillo looked good, but changing your software protection is not to be considered lightly. Suddenly our Installation program locked on Windows 2000 due to the latest service pack and an incompatibility with the competitor's protection product. So we bit the bullet, and stripped out the old protection code and replaced it with Armadillo. Two hours later, it was all done."

"[...] In any case, Armadillo works very well, and I enjoy using it. It's a load off my mind trying to figure out how to secure my software, and I appreciate the hard (and continuous) work you folks put into it!"

"Sales are up, and downloads are actually down! I'm paying for bandwidth at a high-capacity file hosting site, and since moving to Armadillo, I'm only about 1/4 of the way to meeting my monthly minimum charges! I used to attribute the bandwidth to being really popular. I guess I was mostly popular with the pirates!"

"Armadillo is a great product that keeps getting better. It has saved me a lot of time and provides much better protection than I could devise on my own. And the support is outstanding!"

"As a first-time software developer, I researched most (if not all) of the commercially-available licensing applications. Ultimately I chose Armadillo for its full set of features, ease of use, and reasonable cost. Only when I began to use Armadillo and came up with my first few questions did I realize that an additional strength of this product is the great technical support available from Silicon Realms. All of my many questions have been answered quickly and accurately, and the technical support personnel have gone out of their way to help me get my system running. Great Job!"

"With Armadillo you can protect your valuable software and distribute it without worrying [about] someone cracking the code. You may also use the hardware lock option to lock each user to a specific activation key or password. That's a very powerful feature making illegal software distribution virtually impossible. I [purchased] the program and in 5 minutes I protected my demo version with a default certificate that expires in 30 runs. Couldn't imagine it could be that simple."

"Congratulations to Silicon Realms. The Armadillo software product is a top notch addition to any developers toolkit. It is exactly the solution we need to give our customers access to our products, from first peek, to final gold release.

"I recently purchased your product after speaking with a friend of mine (who is a cracker) and he told me Armadillo was the hardest tool out there fully deprotect or keygen. [...] From the time I downloaded Armadillo, till the time my already finished VB application was protected and tweaked to work with the Armadillo registration, my clock showed a mere 30 mins."

"I have had no problems getting this protection scheme to work. It is straight forward and appears very secure. All questions and concerns have had immediate responses. I have not been able to find any cracks for the current version (or for the 1.91 series) on any of the familiar crack sites. This, along with the very reasonable price led to my purchase."

"I am a new developer of software and before we put our product on the market, we wanted to make sure that it was adequately protected against piracy. We spent hundreds and hundreds of hours developing our program and did not want to take the chance of having it copied or used by unregistered users. We began searching for a program that would allow us to use a safe and secure registration process, totally encrypt our software against piracy, and not cost us hundreds of dollars. Our search led to Armadillo, and we have been totally satisfied. We are more than pleased with the protection the program offers and doubly pleased with the price. We have had a couple of professionals thoroughly examine Armadillo before we made our purchase and their response was to "go for it." We would highly recommend Armadillo for anyone who is looking for a quality registration/license/encryptment software that does it all and is priced reasonably."

"After 12 years using many forms of software protection for our programs, we found in Armadillo a powerful, versatile, fast and secure way of software protection for demonstrations, prototypes, and final releases. We must say also, that Silicon Realms always worked fast for corrections and implementations, making Armadillo work fine with all the languages and tools we use. It's the best tool we know for protection and software distribution."

"I've convinced two people of the advantages of Armadillo already. One of them, after exchanging e-mails with me for two weeks, finally exclaimed 'Oh my God, that is what I need!'"

"After searching the web and testing various products, we chose Armadillo for our software protection system. We're using it on all new software products and plan to switch some existing packages (which use a "home-made" protection system) ASAP.

Armadillo offered us outstanding features for a low price; compare the feature/cost with other similar products on the net if you don't believe me: some of these products don't have half the features of Armadillo, and cost twice as much (or even more)!!!

The FREE upgrade for all minor releases makes Armadillo an excellent investment.

High flexibility, features, security (try the new "Secured Sections"!) and customization makes Armadillo the best choice to ensure your hard work is protected!"
