I am near release date for my Excel Add-In and I want to have only one limitation hardcoded in the code. My aim is for people to download and use the tool for free but have a limitation that potentially encourages them to buy the unlimited version. I know that there isn't a truly secure way to add that limitation but I was wondering what is the best way of achieving it. The limitation is simply a hardcoded value that I store in the Properties section of my app. Any ideas how I can make it a bit more secure?

I am trying to create a piece of software than can manage your computer and clean some things up, and one of the things I am trying to incorporate is adblocking.
I have looked online multiple times for something like this, but haven't found anything. The most I amounted to is the webbrowser class.
If someone could help me discern how to change an html file using the webbrowser class, that would be greatly appreciated.

I am a new user of C# (for work), coming from C++ development. I'm used to knowing more or less how data is laid out, and how many levels of pointer indirection there are, as these things can be very important for performance.
I know I'm supposed to just relax and have a good time hammering out business software and not think about these details on the clock, but is there good documentation for this for C# somewhere?
I know there is compilation to IR, and then JIT to native code, so I guess I am asking about how C# source relates to the native x86-64 code.

As the title says "How do you make a license for your programs?"
Do you use a plugin or do you make your own? I've looked the whole day for finding resulutions, but didnt found one yet.
I basically want a normal license for my program:
A textbox where you type your license "XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX"
Is it possible to make this yourself, or should i use a website for it? If i should use a website, which do you recomend then?
It is rather simple to implement a simple license yourself BUT it will no be very save.
Because C# is transformed into IL, everybody can decompile your code easily and work around your license checks. It is very hard to build a license mechanism in a save way, so you should resort to some existing, proven solution.

I have my database information saved on a string in clear text, if someone decompile my application its possible to get that information?
If yes there are ways to prevent that?
Yes, absolutely. It's not even hard.
If you are trying to hid a secret from your user, give up. A sufficiently dedicated user will win. You can look at the windows Data Protection API (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms995355.aspx) but its only a speed bump. If you have to keep it a secret, keep it on your own server.

Is there a way to read text(numbers and letters) in an image using C# ? Is this possible and What is the best way to do this ?
Thanks!
http://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/ has some wrapper to use it in .NET, or, simpler:
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/office/modi.aspx but you need to keep an eye to the license since it is a part of the Office suite. In both case you tipically need some pre processing for the image and, as a solution I did in the past, some post processors that using some ehuristict correct the mistaked words.
