|
|
We are in final tesing of a .NET project protected by Infralution Licensing code, not just .dll
Testing Procedure:
1. Clean image on test-pc.
2. Obfuscate and install project.
3. Project runs well without errors.
4. Make minor project changes, re-obfuscate.
5. Install on test-pc and app crashes after a few seconds.
Q. Is your product working correctly and sensing our re-obfuscation as a type of evaluation hack? |

Infralution Licensing System is not a code protector and so doesn't do this type of checking/protection (our .NET Encryptor product does do code protection).
The problem you are encountering is a common one with obfuscation. Obfuscators often break code that is dependant on type reflection or other dynamic coding techniques (many windows forms controls use reflection for databinding). I would try to unwind the minor changes you made, recompile and obfuscate and see whether the application still crashes. You might want to check out our (.NET Encryptor product which provides code protection without some of the issues of obfuscators. _________________ Infralution Support |

I can re-obfuscate again an all is well, very unreliable.
Q. Does .NET Encryptor support command line?
I just need to protect individual projects, don't need 'boot-strap'. I have InstallAware for installing... |

The bootstrap in .NET Encryptor does not mean a setup bootstrapper (like InstallAware). Instead it is a small program that actually loads the encrypted executable and associated assemblies. .NET Encryptor basically consists of the bootstrap program - which you can configure and modify - and a command line encryptor which does the encryption. _________________ Infralution Support |
