Contents of .enc File

Is there any way to see the cspro logic if we have binary application only?

If you only have an .enc file, you cannot view the logic in any meaningful way. Essentially the .enc is a zipped file of the contents of your application as they are stored in memory. If you the rename the .enc file to .zip, you can unzip it and see that all of your application's files are contained within. But if you try to open any of the files, you will see that they are binary files, not text files. You will be able to make out some text strings (like error messages), but none of the logic itself.

The good thing about this is that you can distribute your applications without other people being able to edit them. The bad thing is that sometimes you want to be able to see other people's code or make slight modifications to a production application.
