Builds and limits
Every protected file is a job. Download it, redo it, and know what limits apply.
One build
Click a job for its file, its options, the time it took and the size before and after.
- Download the protected file, while it is still within 24 hours.
- Rebuild loads the same options into Protect. Drop the file again and submit.
- Save as template keeps the options under a name.
- Delete removes the job and its output at once.
Limits
| Limit | Value |
|---|---|
| File types | .exe and .dll, 32-bit and 64-bit. |
| File size | Up to 50 MB. |
| Retention | Your upload and the protected output are deleted 24 hours after the job was created, on every plan. History keeps the record. |
The plan sets the protection budget per build, how many builds run at once and per day, and the queue priority. The Plan page shows your live numbers. A build over its budget is not submitted: lower an option or move to Premium. A limit that is hit says which one and when to try again.
A build failed
The reason is in the job details. The usual causes are a file the engine cannot process (not a normal Windows program, or damaged), an option that does not suit the file, and a program that already carries another protector. Rebuild with fewer options, or one preset lower, to find the one it dislikes.
