You don't.  Thats the REAL reason Software as a Service matters... to
let you keep all the naughty bits under your control on machines you
own.

If you really care, write your stuff in unmanaged native code,
obsfucate THAT using old-school game stuff and then pInvoke it.  But
even then, there is NO security except physical security.

Your objective should be to make the ownership of your software so
painless, desirable, and reasonable that nobody would think of
stealing it...
