Ben from ionCube here. Just a quick update from us as we continue with development of ionCube Encoder.

In late 2025 we launched ionCube Encoder 15 and have since continued to work on improvements to that product as well as our latest Loader release which supports the running of PHP 8.2-8.4 encoded files on up to PHP 8.5.

Our latest development news mostly surrounds general improvements and bug fixes but we're also actively working on ongoing changes to our Online Licensing system to improve usability and the interface as a whole. If you haven't had a look yet then I would really recommend it as it saves a lot of time on developing your own license management interface - reach out if you would like to try it out and we'll issue your account with some free access and would be grateful for your feedback.

As always, we really encourage you to reach out with feedback whether it's via this page or emailing me via sales@ioncube.com. I'm always reviewing feedback but sometimes this is posted to third-party sites and so I don't get to see it as fast as I would like so do reach out if you have things you want to discuss.
