Need to protect a Script Include that will be loaded to another instance

[GiuliaOliveira]

I am developing an application for a client and it has a Script Include that needs to be encripted when I deploy it to the client's instance, because it is my intelectual property. However, when I try to select the "Protection policy" to "Protected" and upload it via update set XML, it does not work, as it shows my code and even lets the other instance user change the protection policy. How is this protection supposed to work? Am I doing something wrong or is something missing?

Per the Developer training, I'm pretty sure the Protection policy only applies to apps downloaded from the Store. You may be able to publish it to the store and then download it in the client's instance, thus enacting the protection policy.
