Mike,

I have been using Armadillo aka Software Passport for years. I do not know

of any protection issues but my distribution to clients is limited - in the

couple dozen range.

When I bought, it was purchased as 32 or 64 bit. That depended on the

source machine, not the target.

I recall somebody mentioning Armadillo to protect your EXEs in the past

(from reverse engineering):

llo_Software_Protection_System.html

ReFox also offers protection: http://www.refox.net/-overview.html

Can you think of any other tool preferable to use for protecting your

deployed apps?

Any comments on the two mentioned above?

tia,
