CliSecure Full Version + Ninja

[DionysusToast]

All

Well - I went ahead and purchased the full version of CliSecure so that I can properly secure all of my coding assets.

I can't find any docs anywhere on fully protecting the code with Ninja and the full CliSecure and I am looking for advice.

Here is what I have tried.

Test 1
- Create an assembly from Ninja without the "Protect Compiled Assemblies" option checked.
- Import this assembly into Ninja Trader on a second PC.
Results : Indicators worked fine

Test 2
- obfuscated the DLLs in the assembly from step 1
- put the obfuscated DLL back into the zip file
Results :

My problem is this:
- I have code that is way more than a simple indicator. Free CliSecure gives far too much away.
- I now have the full CliSecure but zero guidelines on how to use it with Ninja.

Anyone else done this?

Cheers

DionysusToast, as we discussed in your other thread on this the full obfuscation (including signatures and properties) is currently not supported unfortunately, however we're adding your suggestion under tracking # 930 in our system.

Thanks,

BerTrand,
In this regard I would like to add the following.

I own a copy of .Net Reactor. When I try to import an indicator obfuscated with the same, NT is throwing an error (see attached pic).

Is third party obfuscator supported, if so pls do also add thrid party obfuscator in the list of future support.

regards..

pls do note:
though i didnt face any issues for testing etc pls import the indicator on a standby pc if possible.

I manually deleted the dll and the reference and recompiled an indicator, and everything was back to normal.

Thanks for the suggestion bukkan - you're of course free to work / experiment with your own obfuscation techniques as you desired, however we would not be able to provide support in this area then.
