We have been using PreEmptive Protection for .NET (Dotfuscator and for Java (DashO) since 2004. IN addition to having been a standard part of our overall application security strategy we have found that they have been in use within companies we have acquired over the years. In all cases, their technology has been effective and low friction and the company has met or exceeded their commitments and our expectations.
