List of HASP Device Driver Versions Since V4.02 (May, 2000)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Upgrade Note
============
When upgrading the driver, make sure no service is currently using the
driver. Although the install program is able to terminate running
applications using the driver, it cannot terminate running 
services. So if for example the HASP License Manager is running as a
service, you have to stop the service before upgrading the driver.

The list below includes new HASP Device Driver features, improvements,
bug fixes, and other relevant information.
It is arranged in descending chronological order.
