With ExeShield it's very easy to convert your applications into shareware software with little to no effort and maximum protection against piracy, backdating, reverse-engineering or any kind of tampering.
ExeShield will protect virtually any Win32 executable, including:
· Visual Basic
· Delphi
· C++
· C++ Builder
· PowerBasic
· MASM
· Visual Studio
ExeShield uses several different techniques for protecting your application.
Special code is added to defeat most Debuggers and Monitors including W32Dasm, SoftIce, TRW 2000, Turbo Debugger, Sourcer, Filemon, ExeSpy, ResSpy, RegMon and Memory Monitor which are tools most crackers are using today.
Your protected executable is also modified so it can't run without ExeShield.
Even if the protected executable was pulled out of the protection shell, it would not execute -- since ExeShield modifies parts of the program.
Here are some key features of "ExeShield":
· Anti-debugging & Anti-monitoring Protection
· Encryption Technology
· Detects backdating or reinstallation to gain additional usage

What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
· You can now have your application run with admin rights under Vista/Windows 7 (UAC). We do not recommend using this unless your application needs admin rights.
· The UAC prompt will either scare away end-users, or potentially have security vulnerability.
· Key Manager has been rewritten, it is smaller and will load faster.
· USB Dongle Update has been removed. We will update this in a future release.
· You can now block keys using the key manager. This option is only available in the Pro version. If a user downloads an update and their key is blocked the software will revert back to a trial.
· Minor Bug Fixes.
