Hi guys,



In my quest for Licensing Manager solutions I came across this product:



Quick License Manager from Interactive Studios Inc.



I will start testing it this week and would like know if anybody have used this product?

I'm probably going to go with Smart Assembly but I haven't yet tested it with SF either!

Humm, looks pretty good. Thanks Russell.

I've used Xenocode (http://www.xenocode.com/) to obfuscate my code. It worked OK. A couple of things about obfuscation and SF. As long as you have pretty granular control over what gets obfuscated, any of them will work. However, there are a lot of gotchas when obfuscating SF code. The primary concept to remember is that SF serializes a bunch of stuff as strings to designer. Things like the name of BOs, the names of methods, the names of enums, etc.



Because of this you need to make sure you don't obfuscate BOs (the class names at least) and don't obfuscate any methods used as fill methods with listviews or listboxes or combos. Also, don't obfuscate enums names or values.



Thus, it is very doable, but there is some pain and make sure you test the obfuscated version. BTW, I was doing this with ClickOnce...that was fun!
