VMProtect
VMProtect protects software code against reverse engineering, analysis and cracking. It transforms selected code so embedded virtual machines execute it using their own instruction set, without additional libraries or modules in the protected application. Protection options include virtualization, mutation, or mutation followed by virtualization, alongside controls such as packing, virtual files, debugger and virtualization-tool detection, memory protection and debug-information stripping. VMProtect supports x86, x86_64 and ARM64 binaries and.NET assemblies, with PE, Mach-O, ELF and.NET formats across Windows, macOS, Linux and Android. Its licensing system uses RSA-based asymmetric cryptography for serial number creation and verification; online trial activation can issue time-limited serials without storing anything on the user computer. Lite, Professional and Ultimate editions are available. A free trial is offered, but there is no free plan. Personal one-time licenses include Lite at $399, paid once, Professional at $599, paid once and Ultimate at $999, paid once; updates renewals are also listed for existing licenses.
