How do I encrypt my asp source code ?

Thanks, DougP, for your answer.
But I'm afraid, bar codes won't help me.
Just like you said, I'm worried that outside sources get my company's source code.
I heard, that ASP can be encrypted, and browser can read it straight, but the code itself is not readable or editable. It was supposed to be very easy, maybe it is Microsofts built in - feature in ASP, but I just don't know it.
If anyone know about this, please HELP !

ASP code isn't sent to the user's browser -- it's executed on the server. If you were to embed some JScript or VBScript code in your ASP page to where it would run on the user's machine, sure they could steal that (you gave it to them, after all!). But for them to steal your main ASP code, they would have to have access to your server, and if they have that, you've got much bigger problems.

Thankx, chiph !
I sure know the difference between ASP and JScript,
I've been working with ASP for 14 months, 8 hours a day
Anyway, I found encrypter for the ASP source code. It is available from microsoft, free download. It replaces normal ASP code, and encrypts it, so that anyone who HAS access to the server, where ASP code is located can't read it or change it.
Yup, our code is located in a customers own server. That causes a big problem, because customer can easily steal our code if it is not encrypted.
Thanx for both of you who gave me tips.

Hi miksu,
you can encode your script if you use the latest scripting engine, (5.0+) you can encode your server side or client side script, but be aware that the side that will run the script will need the latest engine too.. check all here:

Sorry, didn't know what skill level you were at, and didn't mean to insult your intelligence.
So, yeah, if your server is at a customer site, you'd want to protect your code alright. What was the name of the download you found a Microsoft?
