    Home users could NOT obfuscate any python script which is NOT property of the license owner.

A registration keyfile generally named “pyarmor-regfile-1.zip” will be sent to your email immediately after payment is completed successfully. There are 3 files in the archive:

  • REAME.txt
  • license.lic (registration code)
  • .pyarmor_capsule.zip (private capsule)

Run the following command to take this keyfile effects:

pyarmor register /path/to/pyarmor-regfile-1.zip

Check the registeration information:

pyarmor register

If the version of PyArmor < 5.6, unzip this registration file, then

  • Copy “license.lic” in the archive to the installed path of PyArmor
  • Copy “.pyarmor_capsule.zip” in the archive to user HOME path

After the registration keyfile takes effect, you need obfuscate the scripts again.

The registration code is valid forever, it can be used permanently. But it may not work with new versions, although up to now it works with all of versions.
