To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:
Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.
If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.
To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.
The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.
For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).
This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.
Does rolling code encryption pass through repeaters?

I don't see why not, as long as the Encryption is passing CTCSS/DCS at the same time. Similar to what the NFL was using for years, before moving to TRBO

Yes, but one caveat - keying a repeater takes time. If that time interrupts the synchronization, the short answer changes to no.
Your receiver has a squelch and CTCSS detect system which take a little bit to come up to speed. Some more elaborate repeater systems use a voting comparator which introduces more time into a keying sequence, and some repeaters use "in cabinet" repeat to work around a comparator or remote elements that might fail. Your radios also take time to detect a signal. Seeing past the jargon, parts of systems introduce delays. Your system will work if the repeater keys up and the radios decode BEFORE the synchronization burst is sent. If not, the radios will lose the first few syllables and will sync up much later than PTT. You may be able to program the delays in the radio to extend a "preamble" (that's what Motorola calls it in MDC-1200 terms, I'm not sure what Vertex would call it) time so everything is in position before the sync is sent.
Some systems could also have buggy issues, like weird audio frequency response that could affect decode.
The length of preamble might be able to be specified, so the sync signal is sent after the repeater output is established.
