Enigma Protector is a licensing and protection system for developers distributing commercial software or shareware as Windows executable files. It supports most 32-bit and 64-bit executable formats, including EXE, DLL, OCX, BPL, and.NET files. Its code and data protection uses encryption and compression alongside obfuscation, mutation, and virtualization to make analysis and modification harder. Licensing can verify registration keys, bind licenses to hardware, or set limits by date, launch count, or usage duration. The Enigma API provides registration-key and trial-status checks and is described for use with languages including C++, Delphi, and Visual Basic. The Online Activation Panel can track orders and automate registration, activation, license-key generation, customer management, and subscriptions. Panel plans range from $24 a month for Light to $59 a month for Premium, with minimum initial payment covering six months. Protector Professional single-developer licenses are $249, paid once; company licenses are $499, paid once. A PHP/MySQL source-code edition for self-hosting costs $890, paid once for a single developer or $2,490, paid once for a company.
