WinLicense

Since you need to put a considerable amount of effort into building an application from scratch, it's only rational to have to pay for the most advanced and powerful. However, tools can be used in order to get ahold of an application's source code so it can be manipulated or have all of its features enabled. Luckily, with WinLicense you are able to protect your new app from virtual attacks with a series of algorithms and criteria.

One main advantage is that you don't need any programming knowledge or external application to make this utility work. The only major requirement is the application itself you want to protect. What's more, you can keep track and handle more applications at a time by storing them in a database. Only one file is required for the process to be put in motion, which can be EXE, DLL, OCX, SCR and a few more.

The interface is equipped with a side panel that provides quick access to steps you need to take. From application information and protection options to trial settings or adding custom dialogs, various areas can be manipulated.

A decent amount of security measures can be taken against attackers. From the dedicated section, the application lets you select options like anti-debugger detection, advanced API-wrapping with two selectable levels, compression method, entry point obfuscation, resource encryption and more.

You can chop down your application into more versions. In other words, custom security keys can be generated for you to insert in the program's code in order to block certain features either for a certain amount of time or until a valid key is provided.

Protection can also come in the form of a license, with the possibility to inject a license into more applications simultaneously. Customer data can be filled in, as well as restrictions according to various criteria, such as time or regional.

On an ending note, WinLicense manages to live up to expectations and is a powerful security tool any developer should have close by. It's incredibly easy to use, with an abundance of details to consider, which sum up a lot more than the ones mentioned above. It uses little system resources and is available as and for both x32, as well as x64 applications and systems.
