>>I tried to use Defox without success. It gives some error like "bad .FXP" or something else like that.

I recall that was an issue with an earlier version of Defox. The latest version seems to work without trouble. Also there is an issue re Registry changes for the protection scheme on OS with UAC but that's easily overcome by escalating privileges to register your PC.

Alternatively, Refox also provides good protection in 2016 though it does attract a fee.

From memory you have a strong client base using your retail system. It's possible people already are trying to scoop your code to see if they can compete or undercut. At present there's protection by obscurity: there are full hack instructions on some of the Chinese bulletin boards that can be accessed via online translators, and it used to be possible to download a zip file with required code and instructions so anybody could do it.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
