The file is in “.jsxbin” format. This is an Adobe ExtendScript protected code format, it is not human readable. It is meant to protect the source code.

Thanks guys,
Great points Dave. They are purchasing ‘the process’ but I would like to avoid them updating it themselves by taking the code elsewhere. If the code is hidden and the process changes it would make sense for them to come back to us for the update.Chris, that’s what I was looking for. I’ll be reading through those links thoroughly. Thank you.

In ExtendScript, File > Export as binary.

This is for the script only, not the AEP project file. It will let the client run the script, but not see or modify its source code.
