❔ guidance on protecting sensitive details (licence details) needed

Q: does anyone have any guidance on protecting sensitive details (licence name and serial) from being yanked from my app?

Vendor says this

"The first licensing option is to make a method call at app startup before any UI is referenced to register your license information. This option is quick and easy, and works best for scenarios where Actipro NuGet packages or build servers are used. See the "Licensing Via a RegisterLicense Call" section below for detailed information on this option.

The second licensing option is to provide licensing via a licenses.licx file. This option is only available for classic .NET Framework applications that have direct assembly references, and is what Actipro exclusively used prior to v20.1. See the "Licensing Via a Licenses.licx File" section below for detailed information on this option"

Further down the page it says this

"It is important to protect your licensee and license key combination from decompilers. We highly recommend using some form of string encryption on the licensee and licenseKey values passed into the ActiproLicenseManager.RegisterLicense method. Many obfuscators include string encryption as an option, or you can use other custom logic to scramble/descramble the strings.'
