Multi-layering
levels
Allow my
application to
run when a
debugger is
present
You can choose from layers with varying
strengths, from level 1 to 5. The size of the
application increases, as more protection code
is added with higher levels. Level 1 provides
reasonable protection, with minimum
increase in the file size. Level 5
provides maximum protection and maximum
increase in the file size.
Please note that you must always run the
output files (protected applications) in an
environment, typical to your product users, to
experience its performance. If the size of the
application is an issue, you may choose the
best-fitting level of protection.
You can keep the check box cleared to deny
application execution in a debugger. At runtime,
the protected application will terminate
if it detects a debugger on the system. Nonmalicious
users will close the debugger and
start the application again.
However, if for some reason you want to
allow your application to run in the presence
of debuggers, select this check box.
