I am working on a c# application that is serially encrypted when user install

  • 0

I am working on a c# application that is serially encrypted when user install the application and runs application first time I ask user for key and if he enters right key. I run the application. But my requirement that this process should be one time after installation only,
I think there are two possibilities.

  1. Store software validation state in a variable and use it to allow the running of application (I do not want to use XML,Object serialize as I have to save the state of one variable also user can remove files created by serialize).

  2. Ask user about key while he is installing application,If he enter wrong key then he should not be able to install the software.

Can some body answer

  1. Is there a simple way to store the state of a single variable.

Or
2. How to trigger installer manually (after validation).
