I am learning on reversing a program that uses an encrypted file (XML file) as a license file.

The program was obfuscated but I was able to deobfuscate and get the salt value and passphase.

Unfortunately, I dont know what to do from here.

Is there a way to decrypt the file, modify the license, and encrypt it agian so that the program will recognize the modified license.

I assume with the salt value and passphase it should be possible to decrypt the file, but I have not found a way to do it yet.

It seems to use the standard Microsoft security encryption methods(.NET).
