  securing the application

  Nov 17, 2012 01:50 PM|LINK

  i have 2 applications in dotnet

  1.  windows application using vb.net 

  2. web application using c#

  after the application is built & deployed at the clients location i want the application to be locked or secured so that the client cannot make a copy of the application and install at some other location

  how can this system be incorporated in the existing application

  Questions about securing windows applications are off topic here. Do you plan to give the client a copy of the web appllication?

  You could use the MAC of the server as an identifier. Put something in Application_Start in global.asax to check the value of the MAC, and if it changes, stop the application from running. You could even store the MAC remotely and get the web application to post the value to a web service that checks to see if the posted MAC value is correct.
