DAEMON Tools is a virtual cd/dvd-rom emulator. It supports nearly all known copy protections on the market today, making it possible to run your software from hard drive rather than the CD/DVD. This has several advantages:

• Performance is greatly improved. Hard drives are a lot faster than DVD/CD drives. This also reduces the wear and tear of the CD/DVD drive
• You can run your software even without a CD/DVD drive! This is most useful if you have a light weight laptop.
• Especially convenient for gaming as you do not need the original game CD/DVD to start playing!
