ionCube
Quote:
 ionCube PHP encoding tools allow developers of all types of PHP projects to protect their code from unauthorised use, prying eyes and tampering.
Code can be restricted to run only on specified IP addresses, MAC addresses and web domains, and can also be set to expire after a certain time period. Maximum encoded script security and performance is achieved by encoding compiled PHP code rather than source, and encoded files can be run securely on a wide range of server platforms, often without any special changes to server configuration.
