| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Decompiling (P-Code) | Severely Limited: Often replaces recovered source code with comments like "This feature is available in Full version" or only shows a partial snippet. | Full: Recovers the maximum possible high-level VB code. |

| Native Code | Limited disassembly (Assembler view). | Advanced analysis (Hex-Rays style decompilation attempts). |
| Saving Projects | Cannot save the recovered project files (.vbp). | Can export projects, modules, and forms. |
| Nag Screens | Frequent pop-ups encouraging purchase. | No pop-ups. | The developer (DotFix Software) offers a fully functional

When you search Google or visit a file-sharing forum for a cracked version of VB Decompiler Pro, you are entering a minefield.
