MultiCharts Study DRM Server

General Description of the Protection Mechanism

When protecting the study the source code is exported to an assembly (DLL), which is protected by any NET obfuscator. MC .NET Special Edition features the Confuser Ex obfuscator. User can also use any other obfuscator. When importing the protected study a class inherited from the encrypted assembly is created. The encrypted assembly is connected via references.

In case the Study is used on several computers at the same time, the last user disconnects all connected users in 5 minutes.
