Monday 10th November 2025 SourceGuardian PRO update

SourceGuardian PRO has been updated to fix some issues with its most advanced encoding mode - the default encoding mode in PRO. Advanced encoding goes far beyond compiling PHP source code to bytecode and encrypting it. If you are not using the PRO version yet, you may be interested to read about differences to the Standard version in out PRO Addendum Document

I
f you are already using SourceGuardian PRO, please upgrade your copy by downloading the very recent one from your user profile and installing it over the current version. Version of the encoder has been changed to 16.0.5. GUI did not need the update but included the recent version of the encoder (you may find 16.0.5 shown in the Welcome screen of the application). if you use GUI, please upgrade. Loaders did not need changes, so not necessary to update them locally or where your encoded PHP code is running.

Monday 08th March 2021 SourceGuardian 12 launched! Full PHP 8 support

As you know, PHP 8 is a huge leap for our great language. We are really excited to announce the launch of SourceGuardian 12, with PHP 8 encoding and full support of all the new language features

• Our new fully-supported PHP8 language features include:

- named parameters
- attributes
- union types
- mixed pseudo type
- null-safe operator
- match expressions
- using 'throw' in expressions
- constructor properties and more

• Due to native support for attributes (annotations) in PHP8, PHP frameworks which use annotations must work with encoded files out of the box (since the frameworks are updated accordingly for PHP8)

• New loaders for PHP8


The new version is available now to download on our site.

Please feel free to try it.

Already using  SourceGuardian? Our active users may upgrade from the user profile as usual.

Need to run SourceGuardian encoded files created by someone else? Please use our loader assistant to know the loader you need and how to install it.
