ACProtect software provides protection to Windows executable files against piracy, ensuring the file's secure usage, and preventing unauthorized access.

One of the standout features of ACProtect is the Embedded Protector, which enables users to specify the location in their application to embed the inner cryptor. With this tool, even if the cracker knows the original entry point (OEP) when rebuilding the Import table, the application cannot be cracked. ACProtect's Code Replace feature replaces some of the program's code with the same function code in the ACProtect codes. If the ACProtect codes are stripped, then the replaced codes will not function properly.
ACProtect also includes Metamorph decryption routines and several encrypted layers. The code being protected varies every time you protect your application, thus providing additional protection against piracy. With RSA keys system, ACProtect ensures that crackers cannot write a KeyGen (or KeyMaker) for users' products without the RSA private key, which is only in the author's hand. Additionally, users can specify some code to be locked by the RSA keys. Without the proper 'key.dat' on the proper machine, the protected code cannot decrypt.
Moreover, ACProtect offers Mutual Communication, an API system that allows communication between application and loader. The loader can call some of the application's export functions, and the application can call the functions provided by the protected system. ACProtect features an Anti Patch/Loader tool that protects users' files against patching/modifications and disassembling. Plus, there is an Anti-SoftIce feature that detects Numega SoftIce (tm) and Frogsice detection.
Users also benefit from ACProtect's Anti Debug/Dump/Trace tool, which offers protection against debugger and monitors like W32Dasm, SoftIce, TRW 2000, Turbo Debugger, Sourcer, Filemon, ExeSpy, ResSpy, RegMon, Memory Monitor, and more. Another noteworthy feature is the Runtime Code Encryption, which allows users to protect specific parts of their code individually, providing additional protection against memory patches.
ACProtect also allows for System-Specific Licenses. License keys can be locked to a specific system by checking the user-defined computer's unique fingerprint, such as Harddisk ID or CPU ID. Moreover, ACProtect helps users keep track of stolen keys by keeping a database and checking for 'stolen' (illegal) registration keys. Finally, users can also create evaluation (trial) versions using ACProtect's Trial setting feature, which limits application functions based on the number of runs left or the number of days left, or according to a deadline limit.
Overall, ACProtect is a comprehensive software that provides strong protection against piracy for your Windows executable files. Its many features and tools offer users unparalleled protection and make it one of the best software available for protecting your applications against piracy.
