This week we cover the Zend Encoder, a program which allows for you to distribute encoded versions of your software, therefore protecting your intellectual property and making sure that your licenses are upheld. First we go over exactly what the encoder does and a little bit of how it works, and then I'll move on to cover the open source alternative(s) and finally, give our humble opinion on the product.
If you're considering distributing software, and you don't want your customers stealing your intellectual property, the Zend encoder is a must have. Shell out the 2400 USD and buy the encoder unlimited at Zend.com
