All-In-One Protector Project file

The All-In-One Protector generator stores all configuration options of a project in one single, encrypted database. Depending on the project configuration either links to the original (unprotected) files are stored in the project file or a copy of the unprotected files. The extension is . aipproject.

 

If you create a sub project, the extension is .aipsubproject.

 

You may never distribute these files. In case the file is deleted, all information about the project Serial Numbers and license is lost and cannot be created again.

All-In-One Player files

The All-In-One Player files are distributed along with the All-In-One Player application to the end user.

 

All-In-One Protector stores all files in an encrypted database. The files are protected from being modified or decompiled.
