IonCube and Zend Encoder just encrypt the code, so you can send it to
other people and it will still run on their servers, however, they
will not be able to modify it. Some encoders (there are quite a few)
allow you to set trial periods, so people will only be able to use the
software for a certain period of time.

The con is usually the price - they can be pretty pricey, especially
the Zend Encoder.
