There is no 100% way of preventing anyone from decompiling any code regardless of the language. I think Refox is the best available for VFP apps right now. There probably will not be anyone who will come up with anything better. Meanwhile, those who do use its branding to protect their apps the best they can could be hurt by this.

Hi Walter. A few comments;

I have tried Armadillo several times over the years and each time I have always experienced problems, access violation errors, memory read/write failures, and so forth. These problems have prevented me from running my apps properly. On the other hand Konxise has never given me a problem in over 3000 installations.

There have been several Armadillo cracks over the years while I know of none that are available for Konxise. Granted this may be due in part to the fact that Armadillo protects any exe while Konxise is VFP specific.

Lastly, most importantly, the hacker who has the necessary skills and motivation to crack an app protected with Konxise also has essentially the skills and motivation required to crack an app protected with Armadillo.

It is the same question; what do you want to protect, from who, for how long. In this I think Konxise does a good job and I have never had a problem with it. But nothing is, of course, full-proof.
