Overview

Shieldn is a software-protection and licence-verification platform for developers shipping EXE, DLL, APK, IPA, DMG, and other binary formats. Built by a two-person team, it combines one-click binary protection, VMP-style hardening, hardware-bound activation, and instant licence delivery in a single developer-facing workflow, so an independent studio can protect a release in minutes instead of integrating a protector by hand.

Outcomes

  • Combined binary upload, protection, licence locking, and delivery into one workflow across desktop and mobile artifact formats.
  • Built hardware-bound activation with revocation and licence-reset handling around a one-time-purchase model for independent developers and studios.
  • Delivered the developer dashboard for uploads, licence management, and activation telemetry, guarded by end-to-end tests on every release.
