Hi.

After protecting of Linux binary I can't execute it with the following message:
cannot execute binary file: Exec format error
Original (unprotected) binary starts fine.

I sent archive with protected and unprotected files via support page and by email.
I use version 3.5.0.1213.

Regards, Ravil.

Please try the latest version (3.7).

Unfortunately, with version 3.7 (Demo) result is the same.

What version of Linux do you use?

Latest Ubuntu on WSL (Windows 10).
Last time when I use VMProtect to successfully protect Linux binary was June 2020. Since June 2020 I was not use VMP until now.
