Based on extensive tests, I can highly recommend Taurus Professional to Matlab users... There is no other utility out there for implementing a secure and robust copy protection in the Matlab workspace.

Copy protection suite for all needs
Taurus is the first ever full-featured copy protection suite that runs in the Matlab workspace environment. Implement all the secure copy protection features seen routinely in today's desktop applications directly into your Matlab code with just a couple of mouse clicks - without any additional programming!
Yes! Taurus makes it possible to copy protect Matlab m-files, graphical user interfaces and deployed applications without a need to write a single additional line of code. With six different copy protection schemes to choose from, Taurus has set the standard for securely protecting your intellectual property in Matlab code. And the standard has been set high. Stop wasting precious time time and money on trying to integrate third-party license management solutions with a complicated API - Taurus is your off-the-shelf solution to copy protecting applications directly in the Matlab workspace.
With Taurus you can ...
- Focus on your core expertise and virtually outsource the task of handling application copy protection
- Ensure that licensed users of your application can smoothly run it, while unlicensed users will be strictly denied application start under all circumstances
- Build a simple license key copy protection facilitating automated key delivery - a hassle-free and lightweight solution for small businesses
- For larger applications requiring additional information security, easily build more elaborate copy protection functionality with
- License keys that expire within a given time
- License keys embedding information on the licensee's identity
- License keys embedding the licensee's hardware signature to prohibit application use on multiple computers
- Rapidly encrypt both source code and application data to protect intellectual property

- Create fully functional or limited functionality free trial versions of your application
- Copy protect applications to run on all operating systems: Windows, Unix/Linux...
- Copy protect deployed stand-alone applications written in Matlab
