DAEMON Tools Pro is an advanced software for DVD/CD multimedia emulation that will also help users to easily create DVD/CD images, create a virtual CD / DVD drives and play CDs & DVDs without the need for the physical disc and supports virtual SCSI and IDE adapters. Also included is a Virtual DVD-ROM drive (Generic DVD-ROM) enabling you to use your CD/DVD images as if they were already burned to CD.
For loading virtual disk drives, Daemon Tools is the best-known app around. It is able to emulate nearly all known copy protections on the market today. The application mounts ISO images to a virtual drive without having to burn them to a CD.
The name comes from Disk And Execution MONitor, meaning that the program runs the minor task of drive emulation, so that virtual CD and DVD files can run.
The list of file types supported by the pro version of this program is impressive.
- b5t (BlindWrite images)
- b6t (BlindWrite images)
- bwt (BlindRead images)
- ccd (CloneCD images)
- cdi (DiscJuggler images)
- cue (Cue sheets)
- iso (Standard ISO images)
- mds (Media Descriptor Files)
- nrg (Nero images)
- pdi (Instant CD/DVD images)
- isz (Compressed ISO images)
The app also converts discs into disc images, saving you the step of having to find a converter. Daemon Tools also features events logs, device and image property displays, encryption, and panel locking, so that you can fix in stone the user interfaces’ configuration.
Even the UI of Daemon Tools is impressive. It is simple to use and emulates the file explorer in Windows XP.

What I like about Daemon Tools?
1. Support for all major file formats – Daemon tools supports most of the image file formats (listed above) and thus it becomes convenient for you, as it doesn’t matter with which software you’ve created the image.
2. Plays even protected CD/DVDs – Daemon tools runs almost each and every protected cd image and supports Safedisk, Securom, Laserlock, Lockblocks, Starforce, CDCOPS & ProtectCD.
3. Low memory usage – Because of that simple UI, it uses very less memory.
4. Various 3rd party tools – There are various third party tools available as plugins for Daemon Tools which extend the power of the app. Though, as a normal user you might not need them, for professionals, they are definitely useful.

Awesome! I would love to have a license for Daemon Tools Pro Advanced because I routinely use backup images to archive applications and games. I use currently use the Lite Version and it is plenty useful.
With multiple device support I could keep the most used discs active and ready. The addition of GUI and conversion support would also make the holiday even better.

WOW – WOULD LOVE TO GET AN OPPORTUNITY TO USE THIS TOOL. CAN’T BELIEVE ALL YOU CAN DO WITH THIS. HOPE TO BE A LUCKY PART OF THIS. THANKS FOR THE OPPORTUNITY.
Perfect to run CD and DVD image files (the best way not to loose install discs or movies due to scratches).
i’m a user of daemon tool free. by the way i’ve always wanted the pro version but money lack and i’ve moved to decide to use the free.
if i coul win the license and the increased capabilities of the sw is valid i could consider to purchase the pro.
please give me it
Certainly one of the handiest utilities around.Many thanks.
Sorry I was late but I posted anyway because I really love the software. I am a graduate student doing research in film studies. I converted many of my DVDs into ISO files so that I can access them whenever I need and I can also choose whichever time point to start to play. I used Daemon Tool Lite alot before and had no issue, but since I upgraded to Windows 7, I found DT Lite frequently stops working for no reason. The only solution is DT Pro which I trial used and found impeccable. I only wish I had seen this offer earlier because I really need a DT Pro license.
