Company History

CADLock, Inc. was formed by Paul Kohut in September 1995. Our first product, CADLock® Version 1.1, was released in February 1996. This software allowed users of AutoCAD Release 12 DOS to distribute secured drawing files. Version 2.1, which added support for AutoCAD® Release 13, was released in June 1996. Version 1.1 of AutoZip was released in August 1996. AutoZip allowed users to save and load drawing files from within AutoCAD in a compressed format. A 50% reduction in drawing size was typically achieved, and the compressed files were compatible with PKZIP®. A very extensive private and public beta program led to the release of CADLock 3.1 in March 1998. Further improvements and support for new AutoCAD variants led to the release of CADLock 3.2 in November 1999. CADLock 3.3, released in November 2000, provided support for further AutoCAD variants, including AutoCAD LT. Since then we have released continuous updates with support for later versions of AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT. In December, 2005 we announced the next generation of AutoCAD drawing security technology, CADVault® for AutoCAD.
