Regarding the Alias License Files security, are the file accesses made in such a way as to be visible (say) via FileMon available from sysinternals.com? Is this secure?
Yes, they are visible to monitoring software. However yes – it is still secure. Note that even if a hacker were to delete all these Alias Files, they still have to deal with the main license file, which is kept up to date with the state of the application. Also – as soon as the app is restarted and the ClientProtector can not find any aliases or the virgin installation key, the aliases are re-written. If instead of deleting them, they want to try and tamper with the files, they must first break the 512-bit BlowFish encryption (no easy task). Your software is much more likely to be attacked in other ways. Please see our Anti-Hacker Guide for more information.
