Use the Guardant Protection Studio utility
Specify the executable files that you want to protect, as well as the numbers of features previously created in Guardant Station. The utility will create the protected versions of files and a service DLL that can already be transferred to your client.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Guardant\Software Licensing Kit\redistribute\
