Hello,

Thanks for posting. Would you like to encrypt the post processor so it can't be edited, or prompt the user for a password when it is executed?

Many thanks

Yes, I would like to set a password so it can not be edited by unauthorized personnel.

You can do this by using the command line:

Please look there for decrypt/encrypt.

You have to use the command line to do that with the post.exe.

1) Open the command line and navigate to your post.exe location

2) then use post.exe, specify your path of your post and use --encrypt myPassword or --decrypt myPassword, for example: post.exe "C:\MyPost.cps" --encrypt myPassword

You also can have a look at the screenshot attached.
