Q: What is NuSphere Nu-Coder? How does it work?
NuSphere Nu-Coder is a powerful PHP Encoder that enables PHP developers to protect their PHP code from tampering and unauthorized copying.
NuSphere Nu-Coder consists of two components providing a dual layer of protection for PHP applications:
Nu-Coder's PHP Encoder converts the source code of PHP Script into compiled PHP bytecodes for both accelerated runtime performance and maximum security. These scripts can be loaded and run with PhpExpress - NuSphere Free PHP accelerator that provides support for loading of PHP files encoded with Nu-Coder - NuSphere PHP Encoder and also speeds up the execution of regular PHP files.
Nu-Coder's license manager helps you to manage the distribution of PHP applications by generating license keys that can required by encoded files to run. Using license manager you can create trial and demo versions of PHP applications without any code changes.
Using Nu-Coder's license manager you can create various license models for both trial and commercial distributions:
- Trial/Evaluation License - provides time expiry
- Usage Restricted to specific hardware - linked to hardware id
- Usage Restricted to specific virtual host - linked to Virtual Host Name
- Usage Restricted to specific Network Segment - linked to ip address network card or MAC address of the network card

Q: How can my customers run Nu-Coder encoded-applications?
PHP files encoded with NuSphere Nu-Coder require PhpExpress - special loader present in PHP interpreter. PhpExpress is NuSphere Free PHP loader and accelerator that provides support for encoded files and also speeds up the execution of regular PHP files.
PhpExpress can be downloaded from NuSphere website and distributed Free Of Charge without limitations. Every Nu-Coder installation also comes with PhpExpress.
Q: Can I bundle PhpExpress into my Nu-Coder encoded application?
Yes, you can. PhpExpress can be downloaded from NuSphere website and distributed Free Of Charge without limitations, making it easier for your customers to start running your PHP Application immediately.
Q: Can I encode scripts on one platform and deploy on other platforms?
Yes, files encoded with NuSphere's PHP Encoder are platform independent
Q: How can I notify my customers when their license has expired?
This and many other things can be done using Nu-Coder attributes mechanism.
If you generate your license with the following option: -a Expires='15052008', then you can use it in PHP script:
<?php
$exp_date = pelm_get_attribute('Expires');
if (exp_date == date('dMY')) {
mail('customer@email.com', 'Your license is about to expire', $message);
}
?>
