What's the best value for money c# code protection for a single developer

Question

What\'s the best value for money c# code protection? Some just use obfuscation, others add win32 wrapping, some cost a fortune. So far I\'ve come up with http://www.eziriz.c

Answer 1

First of all, no matter what kind of protection you'll employ,a truly dedicated cracker will, eventually, get through all of the protective barriers. It might simply not worth it employing high-level code obfuscation; rather focus that time into making a better application.

One way to look at this problem, is that people pirating your software are not your target audience; focus on paying customers instead.

With that said, Visual Studio includes the community edition of Dotfuscator, which is fairly decent (for it's value); I would look into that, if needed.

Answer 2

http://www.eziriz.com/ application work reasonble. But the SUPPORT S*CKS. They NEVER reply. So I would advice you to look for something else.

Answer 3

I have tried many, and I think BitHelmet obfuscator is the best choice nowadays.
