Zend Guard – PHP Code Protection

Zend Guard protects your commercial PHP applications from reverse engineering, unauthorised customisation, unlicensed use and redistribution.

Software vendors are increasingly writing applications in PHP with the aim of distributing them via download or CD. It is critical that the source code and intellectual property of the applications being distributed is secure, regardless of whether the applications are free, for evaluation purposes or for commercial sale. Zend Guard, with its key components of Encoding, Obfuscating and Licensing, make this distribution worry-free.

Benefits of Zend Guard

• Enables PHP source code protection (against copyright infringement and reverse-engineering) through advanced encoding and obfuscation technologies.
• Prohibits modification of your internal source code. This allows you to effectively support your PHP application.
• Allows ISVs to impose a variety of licensing policies on commercial PHP applications.
• Enables you to increase your revenue. Choose from a variety of licensing models such as concurrent users, time limited, segment of network, or server specific.
• Benefit from the most stable and robust encoder on the market. Zend Guard is the most widely distributed PHP encryption product on the market. It has been available for over 7 years and has a dedicated team of Zend's developers working on it.
• Streamlined integration with Zend Studio – just one click and your PHP application is encoded.
• Significantly reduces development time. Zend Guard auto-detects and suggests PHP code elements (such as functions and methods) to exclude them from being obfuscated, which will speed up the development process.
