Piracy Concerns & ClickOnce
Microsoft ClickOnce is a new installation technology which makes installation as easy as web browsing. The magic is powered by Code Access Security, that makes sure the installed software does not act as a Trojan horse/virus/worm and an auto-update engine that provides seamless software updates. IT managers were not left behind and they could use a central update server to control the update process.But... Unless properly designed, ClickOnce could be very useful to distribute software cracks.
First, cracked versions of software could be trusted (thanks to Microsoft Code Access Security). Second, pirate auto-update servers will make sure you will always be using a cracked copy and of course the latest (cracked) version available.
Web-based applications, on the other hand, cannot be copied (or cracked and will still provide a true return-on-investment.
