I've written a VB program. How do I add anti-tamper code so people can't crack it?

A:
Maybe the easiest thing to do is implement a licensing system
With regards to securing the code, one thing you can do is obfuscate

@Michael Mrozek's edit has rendered my answer slightly invalid.

Did you search the site before posting? This one comes up regulalry and the acceptaed answer is almost always "you can't, you can only make it more difficult"

I never said it was foolproof. I just know it "helps"

Crack it, as in pirate your software? You'll never be able to stop piracy. You can try using a cd key and a free obfuscater, but thats the best you can do. I wouldn't pay for an obfuscater, even if you paid $5 you probably won't see a return on investment.
