cTrader Algo Security & Licensing for Selling cBots
17 Feb 2025, 14:06
Dear cTrader Support Team,
I am interested in selling my premium cBot on the cTrader Store and would like to inquire about the available security measures and licensing options to protect my intellectual property.
Specifically, I would like to understand the following:
Reverse Engineering Protection:
- How secure is the .algo file format against decompilation and reverse engineering?
- Are there any additional measures I should take to prevent unauthorized access to my cBot’s logic?
Licensing and Access Control:
- Does the cTrader Store provide built-in licensing mechanisms to restrict access based on purchases?
- Can I implement my own licensing system within the cBot, and if so, do you have best practices for this?
Encryption & Code Protection:
- Does cTrader provide any native encryption or obfuscation methods to protect my code?
- Are there recommended third-party tools that are compatible with cTrader for added security?
Trial & Subscription Model:
- Can I offer a trial version of my cBot through the cTrader Store?
- Does cTrader support a subscription-based licensing model instead of a one-time purchase?
As I plan to launch my cBot soon, I would appreciate any guidance or official documentation regarding these security and licensing options.
Thank you for your time and support. I look forward to your response.
Best regards,
