Hey all, The use case here is something similar to what Chris mentioned above, in that my organization develops and maintains a piece of software and we host this software on the client's premises, not ours. The obfuscation is just meant to be another hurdle to complicate life for the would-be attacker.
Wouldn't you want to invest in security measures than obfusctating the code? It is like putting all your money in a safe, but sticking a pad lock from Junk Lot on the front door. The thieves will crack the door no problem and then wheel the safe out figuring out to crack that later. I assume that you do take other measures and that obfuscating is not the only defence. That said, you may want to take a look at NuCoder (http://www.nusphere.com/products/nucoder.htm). I haven't used it, but NuSphere is a halfway decent company who just needs to shape up on their licensing a bit. Their IDE is top shelf.
