256 encryption

I am trying to find out a little more about what your 256 encryption feature does.

Are the executable files encryped after one installs the application?
Does this mean that if I have a licensing class in my program it would be very difficult to determine the hash algorithm I use including the salt?

Thanks

The encryption is used to encrypt your entire setup payload. When your program files are installed, they are not encrypted, they are normal files.

thanks candice.

does this mean that my installed executable can therefore be easily reverse engineered?

what is the benefit of encrypting the setup payload itself?

The benefit of encrypting the setup payload is preventing access to your binaries if an end-user does not know the password.

The ease of reverse engineering for your installed files depends on the programming languages, methodologies, and anti-piracy tools you used when building your product.
