VMProtect Features

Here you can find the description of the most important features of
VMProtect, some screenshots and other useful information. For the full
list of supported features, see the comparison chart.

Supported Files And Formats

VMProtect supports both 32 and 64-bits executable files, dynamically
loaded libraries and drivers. This includes screensavers, Active-X
components, BPL libraries and other files in PE-format. Protected files
are run on almost any version of Windows, even old Windows 95! However,
licensing feature requires at least Windows 2000.

VMProtect doesn’t support .NET executables.

Serial Numbers

The Ultimate edition of VMProtect allows to add serial numbers to the
protected application with minimal efforts. The feature is supported by
PayPro Global e-commerce provider, so you even don’t need to setup your
own serial number generator (of course, you can do that if you really
need).

Licensing feature allows to limit the period of free updates, set the
time of life of serial number, prevent the code execution without
serial numbers and much more. Any serial number can be blocked and newly
protected files will not accept it.

User Interface

VMProtect features two modes of the user interface: simple and
expert. Simple mode allows to easily pick functions for protection,
adjust options and get the protected file with just a few mouse clicks.

Expert mode is for advanced users, it shows assembly code, allows to
write scripts, bundle DLLs and much more. It also features more settings
on the “Options” tab.

Console Version

The Professional and Ultimate editions of VMProtect have a console
version that supports command line parameters and can be used in
automatic building process. It fully supports scripts, watermarks,
serial numbers and all the other features of VMProtect.
