overview
When deploying a monitoring system developed with FA-Server into the field, there may be some reasons why you do not want to release the source code of the deliverables.
In such cases, you can encrypt the files. Encrypting files makes the source code unreadable. If you do not want to release the source code to the production environment, you can develop using the original files on the development PC and then introduce the encrypted files to the production environment.
FA-Server allows you to encrypt the following files:

Encrypting script files (Script Ver2)
|
You can encrypt script files to be executed with Script Ver. 2 actions. This can be done by specifying options to the executable file of FA-Server from the command prompt and running it. The encrypted script file (extension "enc") can be specified as the script file of Script Ver. 2 action of FA-Server and executed. |
It is not possible to decrypt an encrypted file back to its original state, so be sure to keep the original file for development purposes. |
