ASProtect 32

ASProtect is an easy-to-use application that enables software developers to create trial and evaluation Win 32 application editions, with or without registration keys. It  also offers them the possibility to choose various parameters for PC binding (including physical and virtual features).

The interface is made from a single window with multiple tabs, where you can start a new project by specifying the product name, version number (or get it from the Versioninfo resource), file to protect, and output directory.

When it comes to compression options, you can protect resources, preserve extra data, use maximum compression, and write the section's name.

It is also possible to assign protection for anti-debuggers and checksum values, set a file with a key for external registration schemes, apply external user code, create backup copies, set an autorun feature after loading and exit on task completion, as well as enable advanced import protection.

If you want to insert registration keys, you can fill in the registration information, number and hardware ID, establish the expiration date, and save the key to file for safekeeping. The project can be saved to file for further modifications.

ASProtect has minimal impact on system resources, and a good response time and carries out a task rapidly and error-free. We have not come across any difficulties throughout our evaluation, as the app did not hang or crash. Thanks to its advanced, yet intuitive options, ASProtect should please experienced users.
