只需编写一个好的应用程序和一个简单的保护系统。不管你选择什么保护，它都会被逆转……所以不要浪费太多时间/金钱。

广义上讲，有三种人。

Those who will not buy your software and resort to cracks, or if they don't find any, not use your software at all. Don't expect to make any money from this group. They rely either on their own skills or on crackers (who tend to prioritize their time depending on your useful and how big your audience is. The more useful, the sooner a crack will be available). The group of legitimate users who will buy (pay for) your software, irrespective of what protection mechanism you use. Don't make life hard for your legitimate users by using an elaborate protection mechanism since they are going to pay for it in any case. A complex protection mechanism can easily spoil the user experience and you don't want this happening to this group. Personally, I'd vote against any hardware solution, which adds to the cost of your software. A minority who will resort to "unethical" cracking and will only pay for your software because its features are protected by a licensing mechanism. You probably don't want to make it exceedingly easy for this group to circumvent your protection. However, all that effort you spend on protecting your software will pay back, depending on how big this group of people is. This entirely depends on the type of software you're building.

根据您所说的，如果您认为有足够多的少数人可以被推动购买您的软件，那么请继续执行某种形式的保护。考虑一下你能从这些少数人身上赚到多少钱，与你花在保护上的时间相比，或者你花在第三方保护API/工具上的钱。

如果您想实现自己的解决方案，那么使用公钥加密是防止容易被黑客攻击的好方法(与对称算法相反)。例如，您可以对您的许可证(序列号或许可证文件)进行数字签名。解决这个问题的唯一方法就是反编译、修改和重新编译代码(你可以使用Simucal回答中建议的技术来增加难度)。

请记住，99%以上的用户不会有兴趣检查你的可执行文件，看看它是如何工作的。

考虑到很少有人会去尝试，而且大多数混淆器都是可以解决的，它值得你花时间和精力吗?

你最好把时间投入到改进你的产品上，让更多人愿意使用它。

客户端上运行的任何东西都可以被反编译和破解。混淆只会让它更难。我不了解你的应用程序，但99%的情况下，我认为不值得这么做。

你和很多人分享的秘密就不是秘密了。如果你的代码中有秘密的东西，混淆它是没有保护的;它只需要去混淆一次。如果你有什么秘密不想和你的客户分享，那就不要和你的客户分享。将代码编写为web服务，并将超级机密代码保存在自己的服务器上，只有您可以看到它。

混淆代码!在混淆c#代码中有一个例子。
