Before you buy.

Q: Do I need to change my application or database schema?

No. Encryptionizer is completely transparent to your application. It intercepts I/O at the file-system level — your SQL Express databases encrypt and decrypt on the fly. Zero code changes, zero schema changes, zero downtime during installation.

Q: What SQL Server Express versions are supported?

Encryptionizer supports SQL Server Express 2005 through 2022, including LocalDB and embedded Express variants that ship with third-party applications.

Q: How is a license delivered after purchase?

Once you submit the form, a NetLib engineer will contact you within 2 business hours to confirm your order and collect payment. Your license key and download link are delivered by email the same business day.

Q: Can I use one license on more than one machine?

Each license covers a single physical machine or VM guest. For multiple machines, purchase one license per machine. The $675 price applies to up to 5 licenses — contact us for volume pricing beyond that.

Q: What happens after the 1-year update period expires?

Your encryption continues working indefinitely — the 1-year period covers software updates and patches only. You can renew your update subscription at any time.

Q: Can I bundle Encryptionizer into my own product?

Yes. We offer OEM/ISV licensing for developers who want to ship Encryptionizer as part of their application. Contact us to discuss OEM terms.
