Downloading the runtime without restoring data may not be an option for PB32. While I couldn't find a way to do this in the PB32 software, it is possible as I have witnessed it before. Explore alternative methods to access the runtime without the need to restore data.

You're on the right track considering added security for your project. In PanelBuilder32, you can easily add a password in the "Project Settings". There isn't a built-in feature that prevents copying of the project unfortunately, but restricting access with the password helps. Remember that security is only as secure as the password complexity and how often it's changed, so ensure you use a strong password and change it regularly.

While PanelBuilder32 doesn't offer a direct option to password-protect the stored project, you can use some workarounds to secure your project. One of them is encrypting the drive or folder containing your project files with utilities like BitLocker or VeraCrypt. This way, even if someone gets hold of your device, they won't be able to access the files without the correct password. However, this won't solve potential security issues within the PanelBuilder32 software itself, so it's advisable to restrict physical access to the computer where the software is installed, or implement strong network security if you're working over LAN or internet.

Great security measure you're considering! You can add password protection to your PanelBuilder32 project by navigating to the 'Project' menu and selecting 'Security'. From here, you can set a system password and even user-specific passwords for different authorization levels. Remember, a robust password should be hard to guess and include a mixture of letters, numbers, and special characters. Also, frequently changing your password ensures extra security.
