NOTE: If .NET DLL is detected, a message box appears showing “Shell protection does not support this application type. Please use the KeyCheck API”. You are suggested to use the KeyCheck API to interface your application with the Key. Alternatively, you may use Microsoft ILMerge, which is a utility for merging multiple .NET assemblies into a single .NET assembly. When you merge your .NET DLL into the main .NET EXE, then you can use the .NET Encryption shell method to protect your main .NET EXE. ILMerge is available from the following link: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=22914587-b4ad-4eae-87cf-b14ae6a939b0&displaylang=en
