Multimedia Protector supports a protection of .EXE files.

 

 

How does the EXE protection work?

 

Multimedia Protector supports copy protection and complete licensing for stand-alone EXE files including files on folders. It wraps the EXE file and additional files into the encrypted database. It is a very strong protection, as the files are completely hidden from decompilers.

 

•The exe file and all other files on the directory are imported into the encrypted database. They are not visible to the end user and they are completely protected

•During runtime, all files are extracted to a virtual zone. They are completely protected as there is no access to the virtual zone. The EXE file is started on the virtual zone and could invoke other files on the virtual zone or on the real directory

 

 

•The size of all files together should not exceed 250 MB. Otherwise the loading time would be too long. The loading time varies depending on the hard disk, available memory and processor of the PC

•64bit EXE files or EXE files compiled for any CPU running on 64bit operating systems or not supported. 32bit EXE files on 64bit operating systems are supported.
