Protect and license self-hosted PHP applications without handing over readable source files. Custom VM runtime, AES-256 encryption, domain locking.
Every self-hosted PHP product ships its entire codebase to customers. That creates real problems.
Customers can read your business logic, algorithms, and proprietary code line by line.
License checks in plain PHP can be found and removed in minutes. Nulled copies spread fast.
Code gets copied, resold, or reused far beyond the scope of your original license.
Convert your PHP applications into protected, licensed deployments.
PHP source is compiled to custom bytecode and encrypted with AES-256. Customers run your product without receiving readable files.
Lock installations to specific domains, IPs, or activation limits. Set expiration dates. Revoke anytime.
Protected files are still .php — they work with require, autoloaders, and your existing deployment flow. No file format confusion.
Protect your entire project, specific folders, or individual files. Keep views and configs open, lock down services and controllers.
Create, manage, and revoke licenses from a web dashboard. Track activations, see usage logs, control every deployment.
Protect once, license separately, ship to everyone.
Run the CLI on your project. Source is compiled to encrypted bytecode. Same output for every customer.
Create licenses in the dashboard — each with domain lock, expiry, and activation limits. Independent from protection.
Customer deploys and sees an activation screen. They enter the license key you provided. The app validates and starts.
The runtime validates the license on every boot — domain, expiry, activation count. Revoke anytime from the dashboard.
