Decompile Xsql Server Comparison

Hello mate,
I started to crack the SQL Server Comparison Bundle v9 program (.net).
I decompile xSQL.Licensing.v4.dll file by using justDecompile tools, then extract the code and open with Visual Studio .
Final rebuild the dll and extract new dll.
After run the program there is an error in eventViewer:

Does the error result due to unsigned dll or what?
Can help me to solve this error.
Thanks in advance

try decompile xSQL.Licensing.v4.dll DNS SPY

I don't think decompile and rebuild the obfuscate .net dll is a good idea :( why don't direct modify it in dnspy

Hi,

Just de4dot the xSQL.Licensing.v4.dll and patch InTrial (16 2A) and IsProductLicensed(Boolean) (17 2A) functions.

don't get messy with decompile/compile process.

Hello mates,
I've worked on de4dot and then make decompile/compile process.
I have the same error.
Thanks in advance.

As mentioned above decompile/recompile is not a proper way for obfuscated targets.
Just deobfuscate and patch a few bytes.

Code:

Yes you right, just patch the two above function...
xSQL Sotft use this functions (on xSQL.Licensing.v4.dll) for all products.
It's protected with Dotfuscator, but its very clear, not obfuscated. So no need de4dot to decompile/deobfuscation.
I as far as I remember for some years ago... Simple, JUST PATCH on an editor, reflexil or something like that... there you go.

The patch file works fine.
I regenerate the patched file using dnspy, it works fine.
Thanks all
