Protecting my code if I supply the Computer

I know this type of question has been done to death.

My question relates to protecting my code that is installed on a clients PC.

I know the answers are to obfuscate, get a patent, put code on my server, accept it will be hacked, consider that my code is not THAT important or unique etc..

BUT, I am supplying the Windows PC to the client(s) with my software pre-installed.

It is a C# .Net app.

Under these circumstances where I am supplying the hardware is there any other 'tricks' I can use to prevent decompilation my code?

Thanks

  • Use BitLocker (at rest encryption) on the hard disk and a user for your client with limited privileges. Don't share the admin user's password with your client.
