    MAX Encryptor hides the source code from hackers whether its delivered as an external file or compiled directly into the EXE.

    MAX Encryptor for Windows is optionally used in conjunction with AppProtect or QuickLicense to add additional protection. The encryption is already built into the Mac edition of AppProtect and QuickLicense.

Offline or Online Activation

    With AppProtect or QuickLicense alone, protect and activate your MAX application on each computer by giving the customer a unique code that only works on their machine.

    Automate an online activation process with a Serial Number given to the customer at the time of purchase using the Safe Activation service. Alternatively, host an activation server on your own website using Desktop License Server or WebActivation.

    Do you want to accept customer orders online with a payment processor, shopping cart or automated email delivery of purchased Serial Numbers?
