As I've evaluated those libraries for .NET I can not give a good recommondation but look around and take some time to really test each of the recommended libraries.

I'm sorry but executable protector like ExeCryptor orTthemida is not recommended, turn application unstable and finally you lose customer, I prefer to disabled some features in my application demo and use VCL or API licensing control instead.

Please show here : http://www.delphipages.com/threads/thread.cfm?ID=178588&G=178550 You can find AsProtect, Armadillo, ExeCryptor, WinLicense and Xheo Licensing (.NET) So I'm curious which solution you choose finally after your evaluation?

Convert any application (xx.exe file) into time-limited shareware. Please provide the website address and product name. Thank you Digital River recently bought Armadillo (one of the better known software protection packages). They renamed it SoftwarePassport. You can buy it (several hundred dollars) or you can get it free when you sign up with any of the Digital River distribution sites (and there seems to be a lot of them). I'm just moving over to SoftwarePassport, so I don't have a definitive review of it yet, but so far I like the marketing features. For example, you can sign up with RegNow (http://tinyurl.com/yvm4q8) and get SoftwarePassport for free, even if you don't use RegNow for distribution. Hope this helps, Matt Harward Back to top Roger Lascelles Guest Posted: Sat May 19, 2007 8:13 am    Post subject: Re: Shareware applications protected "Matt Harward" <mharward (AT) phatrock (DOT) com> wrote in message news:464e554f$1 (AT) newsgroups (DOT) borland.com...

I don't use the marketing features, but Armadillo Basic is solid. I have zero customer trouble, including those running Vista and 64 bit Win. Plus I can actually understand the GUI operation and help files - gasp! It is this kind of trouble free operation which makes the difference for me, more than which protection is most uncrackable.

Oreans use WinLicense in their products (Themida, CodeVirtualizer) and keygen is available ! For Themida : http://forum.exetools.com/showthread.php?t=10575 For CodeVirtualizer : http://www.exetools.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10732 Now explain me how I can trust on Oreans products if he can't protect himself from keygen !? it's stupid! Some developer (using WinLicense) report many troubles, e.g : Customer lose data (HDD crash) due at WinLicense wrote some information on HDD sector! Trial protection is very unstable! I'm sorry but I prefer stability before security! I remember some version of Themida using driver (Oreans.sys), see final-user report : http://www.proz.com/topic/43530 http://forums.taleworlds.net/index.php?topic=5520.0 Read this and you'll see all Exe protector is not good : http://www.tuts4you.com/download.php?list.11 You can use Exe protector as simple protection layer but not more...

I still go to the old Silicon Realms site (original makers of Armadillo) and it works fine. Try www.siliconrealms.com.

In the SoftwarePassport version I just got there is a "Classic" version that emulates the older Armadillo Basic. I would suspect that you'll be pushed in the direction of the new interface eventually, but it does ship with the "Classic" version.
