ILProtector is actively developed and maintained by vgrsoft.com. ILProtector first started as free
software that focused on protecting .Net code from reverse engineering. Now its latest version
is paid software (more info about licensing here), obviously still a great software with more
protection options. But we are still in luck as we can use its older version freely. Another great
thing about this softwares is that it provides Command Line Interface (CLI) so we can integrate
it very easily as we want in third party tools like we will use it in Visual Studio.
Here are some of the ways we can protect our .Net software by using ILProtector
