Hi All,

I have just come across Phoenix Game Protection System, and have purchased the software $24.95.

It seems to work well with A7, the Installer is very easy for anybody that uses your completed game,
all presented in one Executable file.

Phoenix Overview:

Phoenix Game Protection System:
Updated for v1.1.0.17

Phoenix Game Protection (PGP) is a protective shell for your indie game.When you use PGP to process
and package your game, you can be confident that your hard work and media are soundly protected
against theft.

PGP will keep an honest person honest, a curious person confused and a hacker or programmer busy.

No software based protection system is 100% bulletproof against attacks, but Phoenix is designed from
the ground up to be the best solution for the independant developer.

How it works:

When you first fire up the software, you are presented with a step-labeled user interface. It takes only
four steps to get your game packaged with PGP and secure for distribution to your end-user.

If you have the Standard, Professional, Developer or Enterprise Editions, you have the ability to add up
to 3 videos and 1 looping background audio file to your PGP project.

If you have the Professional, Developer or Enterprise Editions, you have
the ability to require end-user validation (registration) using either Offline or Online validation methods.

When your end-user lanuches your game, PGP starts to work. All windows based utilities lauch as CMD
and Task Manager are blocked to prevent access to your game files while the game is running.

Looks nice, but I don't like methodes such as blocking taskman. And this will prevent anything that is loaded into memory to be readout?

It appears that it has to decompress all the files as well as decrypt them each time the game is played. This adds too much of a wait for me. Also the compressed size was about 25 percent higher than a plain zipped file.

It seems to be solid software and is very easy to use. I could see using it for a game of less than 30 mb.

The project I used as an example raw was 22 meg, after Encription the Installer file was only 13 meg.

Fine for most downloads.
