ABSTRACT:
The method is used to provide a software package for installation in a user station (US) without revealing the contents of the software package. The method includes the steps of encoding a readable source version (PACK.SOURCE) of the software package following a predefined encoding algorithm thereby generating an encoded software package (PACK.ENC) and delivering the encoded software package (PACK.ENC) from a provider station (PS) to the user station. In order to install the encoded software package (PACK.ENC) at the user station (US) the method further includes the step of providing, either together with the encoded software package (PACK.ENC) or separately, a basis software package (BASIS) for combined decoding and compiling of the encoded software package (PACK.ENC). The basis software package (BASIS) includes software to perform the combined decoding and compiling thereby generating a compiled software package (PACK.COMP).
