I'm using visual studio 2005. I finished my application. Now I want to publish it. How can I protect that application to be shure that someone else could not use it without serial code which would I provide. For example I give the installation to someone else and I give him a serial. He enter that and he can use it forever. But how can I be shure that that person would not give that installation and serial to the third person.
View 14 RepliesI made my program and now I just need to add in the serial and trial part of the application. I know the application must connect to the host and go to a txtfile. How would i do the trial and serial. Also If the serial is already activated I want the application to reject that Serial and Count how many times they entered in a wrong serial.

View 3 RepliesI've a winforms application that is using SQLite database. There is no encryption on the database (data has to be shared with other user). It is a stand alone application with a stand alone local database.
The difficulty I'm encountering is when people go to bring all the data together.The databases are attached, data imported, but records are differentiated by a database GUID.At any rate I am desiring to have a database selection screen that is protected by a password to prevent users mistakenly switching databases (and some level of protection against malicious use).
Thinking it's probably not a particularly good idea to store the password in an unecrypted database.Security is not a large issue as this is only distributed to users that need the software.
What would be the best method to have the user type a password when they attempt to access the database selection screen? ShowDialog? Pop open a new child form with a password TextBox, then on validation (via button?) close the password form and open the protected form?I see a fair bit about protecting a whole application, but not so much about a specific form.
I would like to make an application that will propt the user to enter a serial key in after 10 or 30 days if that is possible also i would allso like to make a keygen tha will work with this program.
View 14 RepliesI'd like to use RSA to Encrypt application Serial Number.
but when you try to encrypt text and did it again both time the results will be different i don't like to decrypt to text to protect the application from hackers. any other useful way to protect the application without Decrypt to text.
i mean compare Encrypted code not the original text also i need to stop application if there is crackers application starts or memory dump application or memory injection .
i need the full solution to protect the application . i wish the armadillo (software Passport ) is here for vb.net application how great it is ... i miss him may be we start discussion about protect application . also what about encrypt all application code to disable resource hacker applications .

View 9 RepliesI am having trouble running a VB.NET 2.0 Serial Port application in Windows 7. I developed it in Windows XP, it ran fine in Windows 2000 and now when the company upgraded the machines to Windows 7, the application does not kick off. All platforms were/are 32-bit. I did some research online, but have not found anything relevant to resolve my issue. Does anyone know what the issue might be and the possible solution to it?

View 9 RepliesI have a stand alone VB.Net 2005 application that uses a serial port that generally stays open while the application runs on a Windows XP system. In trying to bullet-proof the UI, I ran into a problem when the USB to Serial Converter normally used to provide the serial port is disconnected while the serial port is open. In trying to handle the resulting error when accessing the port, I find I cannot close the port.
When trying to do so, the error message says something like "unable to close the port. You may not have sufficient permissions." Reconnecting the USB/Serial Converter does not reactivate the port.

I need to write an application for receiving data (ascii characters) from microcontroller through the serial port in three separate parts. I've created three RichTextBoxes, but I do not know which commands I need to type. In first textbox I need to receive one byte... next six bytes need to be placed in second text box, and finally last seven bytes need to be placed in third textbox.

I have an application I have developed which works great on individual PC's. However I've had some interest from a few customers that asked if I have a network version for site licencing.If my app did not save any data or write any reg entries, this might have been ok. But it does to the local computer. I also built in my own copy protection and trial function that stores data in the registry on the local computer.What would I need to do to enable my application to run on a server/network share, so that the only a serial number needed is for the server?

View 3 RepliesI'm going to build a large project and want to create several libraries (DLL) for it. I don't want to merge them all in one EXE, but want to use seperate DLL files.I don't want those DLL's to be used by others, so these DLL's should be protected so that they can only be used in my own project.I was thinking of using some sort of password in the New() proc, but that doesn't work for shared classes.
Other solution I was thinking of: is it possible to check if the calling assembly has the same strong name as the DLL?These solutions are just one of my ideas. I don't know if those will work and am not saying that one of them is the way to go.What is the best approach to accomplish this?
BTW: I also use a obfuscator to protect my code.
