licensing

Hi,

We are developing a product in C#.Net. We would definately not like our product to be copied easily across machines (in short pirated). For that purpose can anybody suggest using a 3rd party tool or a home grown solution.

What are the pros and cons of each.

One negative about home grown solution is that the cost involved in creating one from scratch.

Can somebody comment on the technology to be used for licensing as .Net can be decompiled.
