Using the app

Every screen in the app, field by field. For each form you’ll see what the field is and whether it’s Required or Optional — so you know exactly what you must fill in.

For what each service is, see the Services pages.

Encoder — protect your code

The main screen. Only the .php files you choose are sent to the Encoder; everything else stays on your machine and is copied to the output untouched.

Field		What it is
Encoder access key	Required	Your Encoder Key from app.oxrion.com (labelled “Encoder access key” here). Powers the Encoder and carries your daily limit.
Protection settings	Optional	Opens Configure… (below). Leave everything off for the simplest protection.
What do you want to protect?	Required	Choose a PHP file, a .zip, or a folder.
Output folder	Required	Where the protected copy is written.

Press Protect and you get your protected files back, structure intact.

Configure… — protection settings

Everything here is optional — off means “just protect it.”

Option		What it does
Server lock (external key)	Optional	Bind the code to one server. Needs an external key.
Bind to a license	Optional	Require a license to run. Turning it on reveals the field below.
→ License public key	Required if on	The 64-character public key from your license keypair.
Allow recovery	Optional	Embed the ability to restore this file to source later. Needs a recovery key.

Licenser — create or renew a license

Sign a .lic for one exact host, offline. Renew extends an existing one.

Field		What it is
License key	Required	The 64-character private key that signs this license, from your license keypair.
Domain (exact host)	Required	The host the license is valid for, e.g. www.example.com.
Expiry	Required	Perpetual, Period, or Custom date.
Save license to	Required	Where the .lic file is written.

Keys — your encrypted vault

One password unlocks the vault; keys never leave this machine.

Add a key

Field		What it is
Type	Required	License keypair, Recovery keypair, or External key.
Name	Optional	Auto-named if left blank.

The remaining fields depend on the type. You can Generate a fresh key or paste your own.

Field		What it is
Private key	Required	Signs your licenses. Stays with you.
Public key	Required	Sent to Oxrion to be certified, then embedded when encoding.

Field		What it is
Private key	Required	Recovers your files. Keep it safe.
Public key	Required	Embedded when encoding.

External key

Field		What it is
External key	Required	One 64-character secret value. Generate a random one or paste your own. After you enter it, its ID is shown — that ID names the OXRION_EXTERNAL_KEY_<id> variable you’ll set on the server.

Recovery — restore source

Restore a protected file back to source using your recovery private key. Works fully offline.
