I am using a DLL file as my license file for a VB.NET project and was wondering if there was a way to make it locked so notepad can't open it and edit the data stored in there. Thanks in advanced!

Jump to PostYou can (and should) encrypt it. If you encrypt it as a file (versus just the contents) then users won't be able to copy/paste it to another computer (except when using Ghost or similar software).
Jump to Postit will get corrupted when edited, and it they won't be able to read it.
Give me a few mins to google a tutorial or something for you.
