 Thursby Software Announces ADmitMac version 5.0 and DAVE version 8.0

ARLINGTON, TEXAS - November 3, 2009

Thursby Software Systems, Inc. announced today that it has released upgrades of their leading Apple Macintosh networking products, ADmitMac® and DAVE®. The products are engineered for multi-processor, multi-threaded operations under Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) in both 64-bit and 32-bit mode. The new versions will continue to support Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard).

Both DAVE and ADmitMac allow Macintosh systems to bi-directionally share files and printers with Windows networks. Thursby's products are the only Macintosh client-side software to include support for accessing files hosted by Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008 using Microsoft's Distributed System (DFS). Thursby's SMB/CIFS client eliminates the extraneous files created on under the Windows file system by Apple's standard client.

ADmitMac is designed for enterprises using Microsoft Active Directory server for user and computer control and authentication. ADmitMac provides enhanced network security by encrypting all network communication and enforcing applicable Windows Group Policy.

DAVE provides the file and printer sharing capabilities in both workgroup and domain environments. It is applicable for use in environments not requiring Active Directory support. DAVE also provides support for many network file servers.

New to ADmitMac v5 is the ability for Windows system administrators to manage Macintosh systems running ADmitMac using Windows Group Policy. ADmitMac utilizes many standard Windows group policies for establishing network configuration. Windows administrators can also use the provided group policy templates to extend the Macintosh computer and user attributes managed. No additional software is required on the Windows systems. ADmitMac continues to support Apple's Workgroup Manager settings for sites preferring that approach.

These updates will be provided automatically to customers with active Support and Upgrade Agreements. Customers who purchased ADmitMac version 4 or DAVE version 7 licenses on or after August 1, 2009 will also receive the new version at no charge. Customers entitled to a no-charge upgrade will receive an email with instructions for obtaining the download and license key.
