Themida
What it is
Themida is a Windows software protection system for securing native applications against reverse engineering and software cracking. Its SecureEngine technology includes anti-debugger, anti-disassembly, anti-tracing, anti-breakpoint and anti-memory-patching measures. Code protection options include virtualization, encryption, mutation, metamorphic scrambling and random garbage-code insertion. Themida protects native 32-bit and 64-bit EXE files plus DLL, OCX and BPL libraries. XBundler embeds DLLs and data files, while custom DLL plugins can be placed inside the protected binary. Developers can connect through an SDK or command-line support and customize protection dialogs, including their text and icons. The demo supports evaluation but cannot be registered; it uses light virtualization, omits string encryption, shows a demo splash screen and disables some internal protections. Perpetual licenses include Developer License at €249, paid once and Company License at €499, paid once, with renewal plans for existing customers. A free trial is available, and email support is usually answered within 24–48 hours. The listed version is 3.2.6.0, dated 11-Aug-2026.
