Oxrion Cloud — Overview

Oxrion Cloud is the web app where you protect and manage your code. There’s nothing to install to use it — sign in at app.oxrion.com and everything runs in your browser.

With Oxrion, there’s no separate encoder to download and run. Everything — encoding, licensing, and recovery — is available directly in the Cloud.

What’s inside

The Cloud is organized into a few tools:

• Encoder — protect your PHP files. Upload code, choose how it’s protected, and download the encrypted result. This is the core of Oxrion.
• License Manager — generate license files (.lic) that tie a protected file to a specific customer domain and expiry date.
• Recovery — restore a protected file back to its original source, using a private key you hold.

Encoder, Licenser, and Recovery — also offline

The Encoder runs in the Cloud. But Licenser and Recovery are also available as standalone tools you can download and run on your own machine, completely offline.

This means you’re never locked to the Cloud for day-to-day work: you can generate a customer license or recover one of your own files without an internet connection. See Tools for the offline versions.

Your keys

Oxrion uses three kinds of keys, each for a different purpose:

• License keys — bind a protected file to a customer’s license.
• External keys — required to run a private file on a server.
• Recovery keypairs — a public/private key pair that lets you restore a file back to source.

They’re managed together on the Keys page. See Managing keys for what each one does and how they’re handled — including why Oxrion never stores your recovery private key.
