Protecting C# Code of EB Assistants

Hello everyone,

We are currently migrating some of our EB assistants from VBA to C#, following the same direction adopted by Aucotec.

In this context, I would like to ask:
- How can we protect our C# code (e.g., password protection as commonly used in VBA macros, or other recommended mechanisms)?
- What are the best practices for protecting the source code and securely delivering C# assistants to customers?

Any guidance, experiences, or references will be appreciated.

Best regards,
