Windows PE protection — finished product

// C/C++ — mark a function for virtualization
#include "AkiProtectSDK.h"

int CheckLicense(void) {
    AkiProtectBeginVirtualization("CheckLicense");
    /* sensitive logic */
    AkiProtectEnd();
    return 1;
}

// After pack: AkiProtectSetSerialNumber / ActivateOffline are wired by the runtime

Some SDK service stubs (e.g. IsVirtualMachinePresent in unpackaged DLL) return conservative defaults until packed; see docs/sdk_markers.md.

# Native pack (Release-style)
AkiProtect_builder.exe --i myapp.exe --lz4 --vm --ulam-layout

# DLL with startup export
AkiProtect_builder.exe --i my.dll --o my_packed.exe --lz4 --vm --dll-export RunMe

# Mode B inplace (needs SDK markers or --virt-func)
AkiProtect_builder.exe --mode inplace --i myapp.exe --virt-mode virtualize --virt-func 0x401000

# DLL host output (DLL input required)
AkiProtect_builder.exe --i my.dll --o my_host.dll --output-dll --lz4 --vm

# .NET obfuscation / wrap (not Mode A CLR stub-pack)
AkiProtect_builder.exe --dotnet-harden --i managed.exe --o managed_obf.exe
