I recently launched my desktop application and it got cracked after a few days. I posted a question on stack overflow and people said that i cannot stop that. In the start of the software i cannot allow this to happen and i want a solution. So, following is what i am thinking.
Currently, I have desktop application that communicates with the web server to verify the user. Once the user is verified it saves the values in Registry. The hacker has bypassed the communication code and added fake values in registry and he can use my software now.
Now, i am planning to take some of my code from MAIN features of the software to a WEB SERVICE hosted somewhere else on a web server. Whenever the software needs to run that feature the software will give a call to the WEB SERVICE with the values in REGISTRY. I will verify those values and return the results. But if the values will not match my database then i will reject the call.
So, my questions is:
1- Do you think this solution is feasible ?
2- According to my thinking, it will make the software useless to the hacker. What do you think ?
3- Any flaws in this solution ?
