Easy to Implement

Protecode products are available as a simple download with either a subscription service to Protecode Global IP Signatures (GIPS) database or licensed acquisition of on-premises local signatures database.

Easy to Acquire and Adopt

Download Protecode Enterprise Server and Enterprise Analyzer bundle, enter your license credentials, and start analyzing.

Highly Functional

Analyze on demand, or script for regular scheduled analysis. Specify what file types to analyze. Analyze only recently-added software. Send an email on completion, or if licence violations are detected. Read the text of licenses. Export report to industry-standard formats. Annotate packages. Approve or reject packages. Interact with reports in real time or print them off. Access the original open source files. Get an overview or detailed reports, plus many many other features that allow quick discovery, or detailed forensics to be carried out on a portfolio.

Painless to Operate

Simple and intuitive to use, it complements existing processes and tools, with no change to the existing day-to-day development process.

Real-time Automatic IP Management

Protecode Developer IP Assistant continuously tracks software IP in real time on the developer workstation, removing the pain of managing licenses from the developers, alerting them if the code they are working on violates the licensing policy established by an administrator.

Accurate

Protecode Enterprise Server uses a reference signatures database of more than 450,000 publicly-available projects, using advanced semantic analysis algorithms and intelligent project match-weighting techniques to identify code ownership, licensing and copyright obligations.

Comprehensive

Analyzes source code or binary files. Supports many software languages. Analyzes software in packages or archives.

Detailed yet Reliable

Detects full file or partial (snippet) code similarities. Detects code structure irrespective of naming or code position in a file

Policy Driven

Allows capturing an IP policy that specifies allowed licenses, copyrights, or packages within a project. Checks analysis results against the policies and takes appropriate action.

Workflow Access Rights

Allows usage roles as administrators, users and reviewers with different rights to define policies, run scans, review reports and accept/reject or comment on results.

Confidential and Secure

No code or other intellectual property ever leaves customer premises
