    It's hard to crack many programs but it's easy to crack my programs. :( My question is how can I protect my programs? If you know something please help me about it. Thanks in advance.

          The best way, is to write them in C++. An obsfucator that will truly protect you, will cost a fortune, and all it does is protect your source. To stop people copying your app you need a licensing system that involves using the web to count how many machines a licence has been used for.

            Would Mono's full static compilation be of any help? edit: of course they could crack it all the same, but it would be harder

                or have a look on SLP-Services (Software Licensing Protection) or something like that. With this, you have 2 great opportunities: - encrypt special parts of your code - protect functionality with lincence negative part is the costs.
