&lt;/ul&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Introduction to Hardware Identification
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hardware identification is the process of uniquely identifying a device based on its hardware components. This is crucial for:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Software Licensing&lt;/strong&gt;: Binding licenses to specific devices to prevent unauthorized use.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Security Systems&lt;/strong&gt;: Authenticating devices accessing secure resources.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Device Management&lt;/strong&gt;: Keeping track of hardware assets in an organization.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  What is the System Hardware ID Generator Script?
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;System Hardware ID Generator Script&lt;/strong&gt; is an open-source Python tool that generates a unique 18-digit Hardware ID (HWID) for the device it runs on. It's cross-platform, working seamlessly on Windows, macOS, Linux/Unix, and any system where Python 3.6+ is installed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;By generating a consistent HWID, developers and system administrators can implement device-specific logic in their applications, enhancing security and control.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Key Features
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Unique Hardware Identification&lt;/strong&gt;: Generates a unique HWID based on system hardware information.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Cross-Platform Compatibility&lt;/strong&gt;: Works on Windows, macOS, Linux/Unix, and more.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Modular Design&lt;/strong&gt;: Use it as a standalone script or import it as a module in your projects.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Cached HWID Value&lt;/strong&gt;: Caches the HWID upon generation for performance optimization.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Secure and Optimized&lt;/strong&gt;: Includes error handling and optimizations to ensure reliable operation.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Installation
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Before you begin, ensure you have &lt;strong&gt;Python 3.6+&lt;/strong&gt; installed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Installing Required Packages
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The script depends on the following Python packages:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;code&gt;requests&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;code&gt;psutil&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;code&gt;cryptography&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Install them using &lt;code&gt;pip&lt;/code&gt;:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight shell"&gt;&lt;code&gt;pip &lt;span class="nb"&gt;install &lt;/span&gt;requests psutil cryptography
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Ensure you're using the &lt;code&gt;pip&lt;/code&gt; associated with your Python 3 installation. If you're using a virtual environment, activate it before installing the packages.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Usage Examples
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Running the Script Directly
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To generate and display the HWID, run the script from the command line:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight shell"&gt;&lt;code&gt;python system_hardware_id_generator.py
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Output:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight plaintext"&gt;&lt;code&gt;Your Hardware ID (HWID) is: 123456789012345678
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The HWID is also saved to a log file named &lt;code&gt;system_hardware_id_123456789012345678.log&lt;/code&gt; in the current directory.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Importing the Module
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You can import the script as a module in your Python project:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight python"&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class="c1"&gt;# test_hwid.py
&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="kn"&gt;from&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;system_hardware_id_generator&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="kn"&gt;import&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;generate_hwid&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span class="k"&gt;def&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nf"&gt;main&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;():&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class="n"&gt;hwid&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nf"&gt;generate_hwid&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;()&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class="nf"&gt;print&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="sa"&gt;f&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="sh"&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s"&gt;Generated HWID: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="si"&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="n"&gt;hwid&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="si"&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="sh"&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class="nf"&gt;print&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="sa"&gt;f&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="sh"&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s"&gt;HWID length: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="si"&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nf"&gt;len&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="n"&gt;hwid&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="si"&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s"&gt; characters&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="sh"&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span class="k"&gt;if&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;__name__&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;==&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="sh"&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s"&gt;__main__&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="sh"&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class="nf"&gt;main&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;()&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Example Output:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight plaintext"&gt;&lt;code&gt;Generated HWID: 123456789012345678
HWID length: 18 characters
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Using the .pyz Archive
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The script can be packaged into a &lt;code&gt;.pyz&lt;/code&gt; archive for distribution. This is especially useful when you want to distribute a single file.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To use the module from the &lt;code&gt;.pyz&lt;/code&gt; file:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight python"&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class="c1"&gt;# test_hwid_from_pyz.py
&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="kn"&gt;import&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;sys&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span class="c1"&gt;# Add .pyz archive path to the system's module search path
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="n"&gt;sys&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="n"&gt;path&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nf"&gt;insert&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="mi"&gt;0&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="sh"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s"&gt;system_hardware_id_generator.pyz&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="sh"&gt;'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span class="kn"&gt;from&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;system_hardware_id_generator&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="kn"&gt;import&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;generate_hwid&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span class="k"&gt;def&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nf"&gt;main&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;():&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class="n"&gt;hwid&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nf"&gt;generate_hwid&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;()&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class="nf"&gt;print&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="sa"&gt;f&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="sh"&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s"&gt;Generated HWID: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="si"&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="n"&gt;hwid&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="si"&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="sh"&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class="nf"&gt;print&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="sa"&gt;f&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="sh"&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s"&gt;HWID length: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="si"&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nf"&gt;len&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="n"&gt;hwid&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="si"&gt;}&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s"&gt; characters&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="sh"&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span class="k"&gt;if&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="n"&gt;__name__&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;==&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="sh"&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s"&gt;__main__&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="sh"&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;span class="nf"&gt;main&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;()&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Instructions:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Ensure the &lt;code&gt;system_hardware_id_generator.pyz&lt;/code&gt; file is in the same directory as your script or provide the correct path.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;This approach adds the &lt;code&gt;.pyz&lt;/code&gt; archive to the system path, allowing you to import modules contained within it.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Example Output:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight plaintext"&gt;&lt;code&gt;Generated HWID: 123456789012345678
HWID length: 18 characters
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Enhance your Python code security and distribution with the new Multi-Version PYZ Builder Script, and discover additional tools like the Local Python Code Protector, Python Obfuscator Online, and Secure Python Code Manager Script.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;




&lt;p&gt;In the realm of Python programming, &lt;strong&gt;secure code sharing&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;source code protection&lt;/strong&gt; are paramount concerns for developers. Whether you're looking to distribute your Python modules securely across different platforms or safeguard your code from unauthorized access and reverse-engineering, having the right tools is essential.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Today, we're excited to introduce the &lt;strong&gt;Multi-Version PYZ Builder Script&lt;/strong&gt;, a command-line tool designed to create a &lt;strong&gt;Universal Python Module&lt;/strong&gt; optimized for &lt;strong&gt;cross-platform compatibility&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;multi-version support&lt;/strong&gt;. This tool allows you to bundle multiple &lt;strong&gt;protected&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;code&gt;.pyc&lt;/code&gt; files—each corresponding to a different Python version—into a single &lt;code&gt;.pyz&lt;/code&gt; archive, significantly enhancing your Python code security.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Why the Multi-Version PYZ Builder?
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;With the ever-growing diversity of Python environments, ensuring that your code runs seamlessly across different platforms and Python versions is a challenge. The Multi-Version PYZ Builder addresses this by:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cross-Platform Compatibility&lt;/strong&gt;: The generated &lt;code&gt;.pyz&lt;/code&gt; files can be executed on any operating system where Python 3.6+ is installed, including Windows, macOS, Linux, and Unix systems.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Multi-Version Support&lt;/strong&gt;: By including protected &lt;code&gt;.pyc&lt;/code&gt; files for each targeted Python version, the script automatically detects the current Python interpreter version at runtime and executes the corresponding code.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Enhanced Code Protection&lt;/strong&gt;: By integrating with code protection tools, the Multi-Version PYZ Builder uses previously compiled and protected &lt;code&gt;.pyc&lt;/code&gt; files, adding layers of &lt;strong&gt;code obfuscation&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;encryption&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Secure Code Sharing&lt;/strong&gt;: Enables &lt;strong&gt;secure code distribution&lt;/strong&gt; without exposing the original source code, aligning with &lt;strong&gt;Python code security best practices&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Key Features:
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Secure Code Sharing&lt;/strong&gt;: Utilize advanced encryption and obfuscation methods to protect your Python code during transfer, ensuring that your code remains secure.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Source Code Protection&lt;/strong&gt;: Prevent unauthorized access to your code with multi-level protection mechanisms.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Code Obfuscation in Python&lt;/strong&gt;: Make your code more resistant to reverse-engineering through obfuscation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Python Code Encryption&lt;/strong&gt;: Protect your code integrity and confidentiality.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  How Does It Work?
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Multi-Version PYZ Builder Script simplifies the process of creating a universal module:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Prepare Protected &lt;code&gt;.pyc&lt;/code&gt; Files&lt;/strong&gt;: Use the &lt;a href="https://github.com/alphabetanetcom/local-python-code-protector" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Local Python Code Protector Script&lt;/a&gt; or another protection tool to generate protected &lt;code&gt;.pyc&lt;/code&gt; files for each Python version you wish to support.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Place Files Together&lt;/strong&gt;: Place the &lt;code&gt;multi_version_pyz_builder.py&lt;/code&gt; script and all the protected &lt;code&gt;.pyc&lt;/code&gt; files in the same directory.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Run the Script&lt;/strong&gt;: Execute &lt;code&gt;python multi_version_pyz_builder.py&lt;/code&gt;, and the script will automatically generate a multi-version &lt;code&gt;.pyz&lt;/code&gt; archive.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Distribute the Universal Module&lt;/strong&gt;: Share the &lt;code&gt;.pyz&lt;/code&gt; file with users, ensuring cross-platform and multi-version compatibility.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Usage Example
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Here's how you can use the Multi-Version PYZ Builder in practice:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Step 1: Prepare Protected &lt;code&gt;.pyc&lt;/code&gt; Files
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;First, protect your Python source code using the &lt;strong&gt;Local Python Code Protector Script&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight shell"&gt;&lt;code&gt;python local_python_code_protector.py &lt;span class="nt"&gt;-f&lt;/span&gt; my_module.py
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Repeat this process for each Python version you wish to support, adjusting as necessary (e.g., using virtual environments).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Step 2: Place Files Together
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Ensure all the &lt;code&gt;my_module_python*.pyc&lt;/code&gt; files and &lt;code&gt;multi_version_pyz_builder.py&lt;/code&gt; are in the same directory.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Step 3: Run the Multi-Version PYZ Builder Script
&lt;/h3&gt;



&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight shell"&gt;&lt;code&gt;python multi_version_pyz_builder.py
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;p&gt;This will generate a &lt;code&gt;my_module.pyz&lt;/code&gt; file.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Step 4: Distribute and Run
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Users can now execute the module using:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight shell"&gt;&lt;code&gt;python my_module.pyz
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The module will automatically detect the user's Python version and run the corresponding protected code.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Enhance Code Protection with Additional Tools
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Multi-Version PYZ Builder works seamlessly with other tools designed for Python code security:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Layer Your Protection&lt;/strong&gt;: Apply multiple layers of protection by using the Local Python Code Protector multiple times before bundling with the Multi-Version PYZ Builder.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Maintain Version Compatibility&lt;/strong&gt;: Generate protected &lt;code&gt;.pyc&lt;/code&gt; files for all Python versions you intend to support.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Test Thoroughly&lt;/strong&gt;: Before distributing, test your &lt;code&gt;.pyz&lt;/code&gt; file across different platforms and Python versions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Follow Naming Conventions&lt;/strong&gt;: Ensure your &lt;code&gt;.pyc&lt;/code&gt; files are correctly named so the script can identify and package them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Adhere to Code Security Best Practices&lt;/strong&gt;: Regularly update your protection tools and stay informed about the latest in code security.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Introducing the Local Python Code Protector: Secure Your Python&lt;br&gt;
Scripts Without the Cloud&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In the ever-evolving landscape of software development, protecting your&lt;br&gt;
source code has become more critical than ever. Whether you're&lt;br&gt;
distributing scripts to clients, collaborating with colleagues, or&lt;br&gt;
deploying applications, ensuring that your Python code remains secure&lt;br&gt;
from prying eyes is essential.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Today, we're excited to introduce the &lt;strong&gt;Local Python Code Protector&lt;/strong&gt;,&lt;br&gt;
a command-line tool designed to help developers obfuscate and secure&lt;br&gt;
their Python scripts &lt;strong&gt;without relying on cloud-based services&lt;/strong&gt;. This&lt;br&gt;
tool empowers you to maintain complete control over your code, offering&lt;br&gt;
robust protection while keeping everything local.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Installation&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Usage Examples&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Complementary Tools&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Best Practices&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Get Involved&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Introduction&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Local Python Code Protector&lt;/strong&gt; is a lightweight, open-source script&lt;br&gt;
that provides developers with the ability to protect their Python code&lt;br&gt;
through obfuscation and encryption techniques. Unlike cloud-based&lt;br&gt;
solutions, this tool runs entirely on your local machine, giving you&lt;br&gt;
full control over the protection process and ensuring that your code&lt;br&gt;
never leaves your environment.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why Code Protection Matters&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Intellectual Property Safety&lt;/strong&gt;: Your code represents countless&lt;br&gt;
hours of work and innovation. Protecting it helps safeguard your&lt;br&gt;
intellectual property rights.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Prevent Unauthorized Use&lt;/strong&gt;: Obfuscation makes it difficult for&lt;br&gt;
others to reverse-engineer or modify your code without permission.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Secure Distribution&lt;/strong&gt;: When sharing code with clients or partners,&lt;br&gt;
you can ensure they're only able to use it as intended.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Compliance Requirements&lt;/strong&gt;: Some industries require code protection&lt;br&gt;
to meet regulatory standards.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Key Features&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Source Code Obfuscation&lt;/strong&gt;: Transforms your Python scripts into a&lt;br&gt;
form that's challenging to understand or modify.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Encryption Techniques&lt;/strong&gt;: Applies encryption to further enhance the&lt;br&gt;
security of your code.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Device-Specific Execution&lt;/strong&gt;: Restricts code execution to specified&lt;br&gt;
hardware IDs, ensuring only authorized devices can run your scripts.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Expiration Dates&lt;/strong&gt;: Sets a date after which the protected code&lt;br&gt;
will no longer run.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Custom Execution Messages&lt;/strong&gt;: Displays personalized messages upon&lt;br&gt;
code execution.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;No Internet Required&lt;/strong&gt;: All operations are performed locally; no&lt;br&gt;
data is sent to external servers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cross-Platform Compatibility&lt;/strong&gt;: Works on Windows, macOS, Linux,&lt;br&gt;
and any system with Python 3.6+ installed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How It Works&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;At its core, the Local Python Code Protector takes your Python source&lt;br&gt;
file and applies multiple layers of obfuscation and encryption. Here's&lt;br&gt;
a high-level overview:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Obfuscation&lt;/strong&gt;: The script modifies your code to make it less&lt;br&gt;
readable and harder to reverse-engineer.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Encryption&lt;/strong&gt;: Applies encryption algorithms to secure the code&lt;br&gt;
further.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Optional Restrictions&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Device Locking&lt;/strong&gt;: Ties the code execution to specific hardware&lt;br&gt;
    IDs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Expiration&lt;/strong&gt;: Sets a date after which the code won't execute.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Custom Messages&lt;/strong&gt;: Displays a message when the code runs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The result is a protected Python script (or compiled file) that you can&lt;br&gt;
distribute with confidence, knowing that it's significantly more&lt;br&gt;
challenging for unauthorized users to access or misuse your code.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Installation&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Before you begin, ensure you have Python 3.6 or higher installed on your&lt;br&gt;
system.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Install Required Packages&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You'll need to install some Python packages using pip:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight shell"&gt;&lt;code&gt;
pip &lt;span class="nb"&gt;install &lt;/span&gt;requests psutil cryptography decompyle3 xdis astor
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Usage Examples&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Here's how you can use the Local Python Code Protector in different&lt;br&gt;
scenarios:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Basic Obfuscation&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To obfuscate a Python source file without any additional restrictions:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight shell"&gt;&lt;code&gt;
python local_python_code_protector.py &lt;span class="nt"&gt;-f&lt;/span&gt; /path/to/your_script.py
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Obfuscation with Device Restrictions&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Restrict code execution to specific devices by specifying hardware IDs:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight shell"&gt;&lt;code&gt;
python local_python_code_protector.py &lt;span class="nt"&gt;-f&lt;/span&gt; /path/to/your_script.py &lt;span class="nt"&gt;-d&lt;/span&gt; 12345678901514874
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Note: Replace 12345678901514874 with the actual hardware ID of the&lt;br&gt;
authorized device.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Obfuscation with Expiration Date&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Set an expiration date after which the code won't run:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight shell"&gt;&lt;code&gt;
python local_python_code_protector.py &lt;span class="nt"&gt;-f&lt;/span&gt; /path/to/your_script.py &lt;span class="nt"&gt;-e&lt;/span&gt; 2024-12-31
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Obfuscation with All Features&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Combine device restrictions, expiration date, and a custom message:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight shell"&gt;&lt;code&gt;
python local_python_code_protector.py &lt;span class="nt"&gt;-f&lt;/span&gt; /path/to/your_script.py &lt;span class="nt"&gt;-d&lt;/span&gt; 12345678901514874 &lt;span class="nt"&gt;-e&lt;/span&gt; 2024-12-31 &lt;span class="nt"&gt;-m&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="s2"&gt;"This code is licensed until 2024-12-31."&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Complementary Tools&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;While the Local Python Code Protector is a powerful standalone tool, you&lt;br&gt;
might also be interested in cloud-based solutions that offer additional&lt;br&gt;
features:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Python Obfuscator Online&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://obfuscator.xn--mxac.net/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Python Obfuscator Online&lt;/a&gt; is an online tool for cloud-based Python code obfuscation and secure usage via the Alpha Beta Network cloud platform. It allows you to:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Create limited licenses for code usage.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Manage usage parameters like the number of devices and usage period.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Seamlessly update code without client-side reinstallation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Secure Python Code Manager Script&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href="https://github.com/alphabetanetcom/secure-python-code-manager" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Secure Python Code Manager Script&lt;/a&gt; is a command-line tool that integrates with the Alpha Beta Network cloud platform to provide:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Secure code sharing and protection.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Flexible licensing solutions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Multi-level source code protection.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Usage monitoring and revocable access.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Using Them Together&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You can use the Local Python Code Protector to further protect code that&lt;br&gt;
has been secured using the cloud-based solutions. This layered approach&lt;br&gt;
enhances security, combining local and cloud-based protection&lt;br&gt;
mechanisms.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Best Practices&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Multiple Protection Layers&lt;/strong&gt;: Apply the Local Python Code&lt;br&gt;
Protector multiple times to add layers of obfuscation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Keep Dependencies Updated&lt;/strong&gt;: Regularly update your Python packages&lt;br&gt;
to benefit from the latest security patches.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Use Virtual Environments&lt;/strong&gt;: Manage dependencies and Python&lt;br&gt;
versions using virtual environments.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Test Thoroughly&lt;/strong&gt;: Always test the protected code in a controlled&lt;br&gt;
environment to ensure functionality remains intact.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Get Involved&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Local Python Code Protector is in beta testing and available for&lt;br&gt;
free. We encourage developers to try it out and contribute:&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Introducing Secure Python Code Manager: Safeguard and Share Your&lt;br&gt;
Python Code with Confidence&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As developers, we often face the challenge of sharing our Python code&lt;br&gt;
securely while protecting our intellectual property. Whether it's&lt;br&gt;
collaborating with teammates, distributing scripts to clients, or&lt;br&gt;
contributing to open-source projects, ensuring that our code remains&lt;br&gt;
secure is paramount. That's where the &lt;strong&gt;Secure Python Code&lt;br&gt;
Manager&lt;/strong&gt; comes into play — a command-line tool designed to help&lt;br&gt;
you &lt;strong&gt;share Python code securely&lt;/strong&gt;, implement advanced &lt;strong&gt;Python code&lt;br&gt;
encryption&lt;/strong&gt;, and maintain robust &lt;strong&gt;source code protection&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is Secure Python Code Manager?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Secure Python Code Manager is an innovative solution that leverages&lt;br&gt;
the &lt;strong&gt;Alpha Beta Network&lt;/strong&gt; cloud platform to offer developers a seamless&lt;br&gt;
way to protect and distribute their Python scripts. By utilizing&lt;br&gt;
advanced techniques such as &lt;strong&gt;code obfuscation in Python&lt;/strong&gt;, this tool&lt;br&gt;
ensures that your code remains secure during transfer and execution.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Note:&lt;/strong&gt; The project is currently in &lt;strong&gt;Beta Testing&lt;/strong&gt; and is available&lt;br&gt;
for free.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Key Features&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Secure Code Sharing:&lt;/strong&gt; Encrypt and protect your Python scripts to&lt;br&gt;
prevent unauthorized access or modification.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Source Code Protection:&lt;/strong&gt; Utilize multi-level protection with&lt;br&gt;
dynamic obfuscation, enhancing &lt;strong&gt;Python code security best&lt;br&gt;
practices&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Flexible Licensing:&lt;/strong&gt; Create time-limited or device-specific&lt;br&gt;
licenses with customizable usage parameters.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Seamless Code Updates:&lt;/strong&gt; Update your code in the cloud without&lt;br&gt;
requiring client-side reinstallation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Revocable Access:&lt;/strong&gt; Revoke or disable access to shared code at any&lt;br&gt;
time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Usage Monitoring:&lt;/strong&gt; Automated monitoring and control of suspicious&lt;br&gt;
activity, including usage limits and IP restrictions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Python Secure Code Transfer:&lt;/strong&gt; Ensure your code is not stored on&lt;br&gt;
the user's local machine, enhancing security.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Easy Integration:&lt;/strong&gt; Implement the entire process in just one step&lt;br&gt;
using our command-line tool.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How It Works&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Upload Your Code:&lt;/strong&gt; Use the command-line tool to upload your&lt;br&gt;
Python source code to the Alpha Beta Network cloud platform. Specify&lt;br&gt;
allowed usage parameters such as usage period, device limits, daily&lt;br&gt;
usage limits, and more.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Automatic Protection:&lt;/strong&gt; The service automatically implements&lt;br&gt;
multi-level protection using dynamic &lt;strong&gt;code obfuscation in Python&lt;/strong&gt;,&lt;br&gt;
resulting in a license file (protected code loader) according to&lt;br&gt;
your specified license parameters.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Secure Distribution:&lt;/strong&gt; Download the ready license file and use it&lt;br&gt;
instead of your source code. The file performs the functionality of&lt;br&gt;
your code without exposing the source, enabling &lt;strong&gt;secure code&lt;br&gt;
sharing&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Manage Licenses:&lt;/strong&gt; Extend, update, or revoke licenses as needed.&lt;br&gt;
Monitor service usage and retrieve detailed license information.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Automatic Deletion:&lt;/strong&gt; Upon license expiration, your code is&lt;br&gt;
automatically deleted from the cloud, ensuring continued security.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Installation&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Before using the Secure Python Code Manager, ensure that you&lt;br&gt;
have &lt;strong&gt;Python 3&lt;/strong&gt; installed on your system.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Install Required Packages&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The script requires the following Python packages:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;requests&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;psutil&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;cryptography&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Install them using pip:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight shell"&gt;&lt;code&gt;
pip &lt;span class="nb"&gt;install &lt;/span&gt;requests psutil cryptography
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Download the Script&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Clone the repository and navigate to the project directory:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight shell"&gt;&lt;code&gt;
git clone https://github.com/alphabetanetcom/secure-python-code-manager.git

&lt;span class="nb"&gt;cd &lt;/span&gt;secure-python-code-manager
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Alternatively, download the secure_python_code_manager.py script&lt;br&gt;
directly to your local machine.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Usage&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Secure Python Code Manager provides the following main&lt;br&gt;
functionalities:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Uploading Code and Creating a License&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Upload your Python script to the cloud and create a new license for it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Command Syntax:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight shell"&gt;&lt;code&gt;
python secure_python_code_manager.py &lt;span class="nt"&gt;--upload&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nt"&gt;-f&lt;/span&gt; /path/to/your_script.py
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Parameters:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;--upload or -u: Specifies the action to upload code.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;--file FILE_PATH or -f FILE_PATH: Specifies the path to&lt;br&gt;
the .py file to upload.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Example:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight shell"&gt;&lt;code&gt;
python secure_python_code_manager.py &lt;span class="nt"&gt;--upload&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nt"&gt;-f&lt;/span&gt; my_script.py
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Upon successful upload, the script will provide a license key and save&lt;br&gt;
the protected code loader.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Updating Previously Uploaded Code&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Update a previously uploaded script associated with a specific license.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Command Syntax:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight shell"&gt;&lt;code&gt;
python secure_python_code_manager.py &lt;span class="nt"&gt;--update&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nt"&gt;-f&lt;/span&gt; /path/to/your_script.py &lt;span class="nt"&gt;-l&lt;/span&gt; LICENSE_KEY
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Parameters:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;--update or -p: Specifies the action to update code.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;--file FILE_PATH or -f FILE_PATH: Specifies the path to&lt;br&gt;
the .py file to update.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;--license LICENSE_KEY or -l LICENSE_KEY: Specifies the license key&lt;br&gt;
associated with the code to update.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Example:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight shell"&gt;&lt;code&gt;
python secure_python_code_manager.py &lt;span class="se"&gt;\-&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nt"&gt;-update&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nt"&gt;-f&lt;/span&gt; my_script.py &lt;span class="nt"&gt;-l&lt;/span&gt; 1234567890
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Retrieving License Information&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Retrieve detailed information about your licenses, including status and&lt;br&gt;
usage data.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Command Syntax:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight shell"&gt;&lt;code&gt;
python secure_python_code_manager.py &lt;span class="nt"&gt;--license-info&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nt"&gt;-l&lt;/span&gt; LICENSE_KEYS &lt;span class="o"&gt;[&lt;/span&gt;OPTIONS]
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Parameters:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;--license-info or -i: Specifies the action to retrieve license&lt;br&gt;
information.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;-l LICENSE_KEYS or --license LICENSE_KEYS: Specifies the license&lt;br&gt;
key(s) to retrieve information for. Use all to retrieve information&lt;br&gt;
for all licenses.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;--extend or -e: &lt;em&gt;(Optional)&lt;/em&gt; Extends the expiration date of the&lt;br&gt;
specified licenses by 24 hours.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;--set_hwids NUMBER or -d NUMBER: &lt;em&gt;(Optional)&lt;/em&gt; Sets the maximum&lt;br&gt;
number of hardware IDs for the specified licenses.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Examples:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Retrieve information for a specific license:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight shell"&gt;&lt;code&gt;
python secure_python_code_manager.py &lt;span class="nt"&gt;--license-info&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nt"&gt;-l&lt;/span&gt; 1234567890
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Extend the expiration date:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight shell"&gt;&lt;code&gt;
