Understand protected PHP and runtime licensing
Encoded PHP needs a supported loader and legitimate runtime entitlement.
Before you begin
Official encoded installer and active compatible license.
Use the controls offered by your installed version and account permissions. This guide describes the workflow; it does not grant additional access.
Follow the steps
- Install the official package rather than copying individual PHP files.
- Let its installer configure the panel's supported ionCube loader.
- Complete EzePanel activation and protected-license delivery.
- Keep normal license refresh working.
- Retain exact loader or runtime-license errors for support.
Check the result
Protected application code executes under its supported runtime and entitlement.
If something goes wrong
Encoding makes source harder to read or modify, not impossible to reverse-engineer. Configuration, assets and operational scripts can remain readable.
