PHP licensing service
ionCube Cerberus
ionCube Cerberus-based PHP encoding and licensing preparation for controlled commercial distribution.
ionCube Encoder converts PHP scripts to compiled bytecode and supports additional protection such as obfuscation, Dynamic Keys, digital signatures, non-PHP file encryption, and license restrictions depending on edition. Cerberus adds MAC-address licensing support to the domain, IP, and time controls available in the professional product line.
Badger Encryptions prepares ionCube Cerberus-based releases around the application that will actually be shipped. That includes choosing PHP targets, identifying files that must remain readable, reviewing installer and update behavior, documenting the loader requirement, and validating the customer-facing release after encoding.
Projects that need trials, customer-specific builds, subscription periods, or remote license administration can be scoped with external or online licensing in mind. Availability depends on the customer or service license and the ionCube products enabled for the engagement.
