Summary:

Deploy.NET is a tool for packaging Windows Forms based .NET applications for deployment.

Deploy.NET assists .NET application developers in protecting their proprietary code using encryption technology.

Deploy.NET also shrinks the size of deployed applications by compressing application components into a single dynamically

loaded archive. Additional features planned for upcoming versions include support for providing automatic dynamic updates

of your protected application to your customers and assistance in enforcing your application's licensing model.

This version of Deploy.NET is supported for applications written for the 1.1 NET Framework Beta Release (1.1.4322).

Getting Started:

Launch Deploy.NET.exe and browse to your .NET exe application.

Click the Protect button to create a protected version of your application in a protected subdirectory of your application.

If your application requires additional files other than .dll and .exe, you will need to manually copy then into the protected subdirectory.

Your application will be stored in a compressed encrypted archive, and launched with a loader .exe with your application name.

Features Planned for Release 1.1.0:

1. Support for providing automatic dynamic updates of your protected application.

2. Assistance in enforcing your application's licensing model.

Release Notes:

Version 1.0.0:

1. Your application icon and version resource is now copied to the protected version of your application.
