About
Zend Guard is the first Electronic Licensing solution for the PHP marketplace. It includes the Encoding solution that pioneered PHP intellectual property protection.
Zend Guard maximizes software profitability by:
-
Limiting unauthorized duplication or use of your applications.
-
Ensuring that only licensed customers use your products and that they remain within the terms of your license.
-
Offering flexible licensing terms that make your software products more attractive, increase sales, and improve customer satisfaction.
-
Increasing conversion rate from evaluation to licensed product.
-
Preventing other people from changing your code (all files are rendered as un-editable and external changes will corrupt the code) protecting the files against external tampering.
