GOAL:
Is it possible to decode encrypted program (XCODE utility)?
GOAL:
How to decrypt encrypted source code?
GOAL:
How to reverse XCODE encryption?
GOAL:
How to unencrypt XCODE source files?
FIX:
Progress does not supply any tool to reverse the encryption of source
code done with the XCODE tool.
Supplying such a tool would defeat the purpose of encrypting source
code to protect your source code since it could then just as easily be
undone.

But,

provided you have proof to be the owner of the original source code you could go to http://pdecode.webpark.sk/ (payed service) for more information.

sadly, xcode has been long broken. there are a couple (that i've seen) source code implementations on the internet. there are also companies that have some xcode decoding service, if you can prove the source code is yours. http://pdecode.webpark.sk/

although if the files were encrypted using some random key, that you don't have, it maybe practically impossible to break.


it'd be interesting to start a discussion on how we could still use xcode. one option i thought of, but i'm not really sure about

1. encrypting the files using a pseudo random generated key that maybe be substantially difficult enough or practically impossible to break

2. use an executable (machine executable, like, .exe) written in c or other, that holds the key hidden/obfuscated, or receives input like serial code and uses its own encryption algorithm to generate a key.

3. the executable uses os command or another way to pass the key and have a 4gl procedure to compile the files.

I'm not sure that the service you are advising me is a true one. I only know that I will not check this and will not pay for this even cent. I'm trying to find this for my own interests and not for business purposes. On this stage default key is the only thing I need.

Sorry but you are not going to get information or help here on doing something that is illegal or at the very least unethical.

if you have anything you'd like to decode or decompile in progress he's the guy to ask ;)

Hi there,

I try to go to the web site but it redirect me to http://www.centrum.sk/ --- and the site in not in English.
I do have proof to be the owner of the original source code.

Is this service still available?

Regards,
Edgar
