Downloading Jomres

From Jomres v4 manual

Before you download Jomres, you will need to decide which flavour you will need. You can have either Zend encryption or ionCube encryption. Which you choose depends on your server configuration so if in doubt, please ask your hosts. If you can use either then it is recommended that you use the ionCube encoded version. Jomres is available as either a web installation, executable installer, or as a zip file. The recommended installation method is the web installer. This is because Jomres has features that require that it can overwrite some of it's files, and the most reliable way of ensuring that this is possible is by performing the initial installation via the web installer. What are the Loaders? (applies to ionCube encoded versions of Jomres) The loaders are used to encrypt two files within Jomres. If we didn't encrypt some files then it would be trivial for anybody with a little PHP knowledge to bypass the licensing system and use Jomres for free. In the past we have used other encryption software that didn't require loaders but it didn't take long for decrypted copies of Jomres to start circulating through the warez sites dotted around the web. To enable us to continue providing updates we have been forced to implement a license system and encryption.

The first encrypted file is "install_jomres.php". This file is encrypted purely to ensure that any encoder issues are detected during the install phase, rather than later on when you want to actually use Jomres. The other encrypted file is "integration.php". All other files within Jomres are open source. This means that you can see the source, and edit them if you need to.

If you are having problems finding a host that is suitable I can highly recommend United Hosting. Their services are excellent and they are very fast at responding to support tickets. Their servers are also configured so that apache runs as the account user, meaning that you're less likely to run into permissions issues when you want to edit files via ftp.
