Orange Heap obfuscator (http://orangeheap.blogspot.com) and CodeFort obfuscator (http://codefort.org) are not mentioned here. They both work very well and look very efficient. Orange Heap is absolutely free and CodeFort hsa different licences including free one.

Babel is no longer free. The free version only runs for a few days. You must pay to add at least one feature to get past this – not terrible, but it’s no longer free.

Just over a year ago we discovered that someone had created a keygen for our commercial software. 2 years of work could have gone up the spout, and the dangers of developing software on the .Net platform (e.g how easy assemblies are to reverse engineer) became very clear.
We looked around at all the different products that were on the market and they were all either far too expensive or really complicated. We just wanted something that we could point at our final compiled versions of our assemblies, hit ‘go’, and then distribute the protected article.
Skater .Net obfuscator fitted the bill perfectly, and was the best value for money solution that we found (and we looked at a lot of those on offer!).
So, I would like to thank RustemSoft for producing what is a great bit of software.
A change of licence keys a year ago, and an extra couple of minutes to scramble the final assemblies before we distribute a new version and the problem of key gens and such has completely gone away.

It comes down to how much you want to pay for your requirements.

Some obfuscators are real crap. At the very least, the obfuscator should crash .NET Reflector when you attempt to read the protected assembly. CodeWall is a good choice at $399.

But the best obfuscators will also foil in-memory attacks. CodeVeil and CliSecure are examples, but both cost over $1200/seat.

If you are concerned about clients having the proper version of .NET installed, then you may want to convert from .NET to native code. XenoCode PostBuild is an example at $1600/seat.
