SlySoft was the first to offer AACS circumvention that worked for any disc available; previous programs only cracked "compatible" discs using a database of known keys.
On November 8, 2007, SlySoft claimed to have completely cracked BD+.[2] However, this turned out to be incorrect, as subsequent version of BD+ security code have caused SlySoft to re-design its software. On March 3, 2008, SlySoft updated AnyDVD HD allowing the full decryption of BD+,[3] allowing for not only the viewing of the film itself but also playing and copying disks with third-party software. A third iteration of BD+ was released in November 2008, and was announced to be cracked by Slysoft with the release of AnyDVD HD 6.5.0.2 on December 29, 2008[4]. A fourth version of BD+ security code was discovered with the movie Australia on February 17th, 2009, thwarting the effectiveness of Slysoft's software.[5][6]
However on March 19, 2009, SlySoft updated AnyDVD HD to version 6.5.3.1 which allowed the decryption of the new version of BD+ used by the movie Australia.[7]
On December 1, 2008 Slysoft announced it would for the first time begin charging its customers for updates to its software.[8]
