disassemble xenocode protected file

[tribal]

Hello,

I have an application which is obfuscated and packed by xenocode.
I used olly to unpack the .net assembly which seem to have worked. If I open the app when another instance is already running, I get the normal error message that the app is already running, so the binary seems to be good.

To remove the licence protection I want to edit some msil code and re-compile the app so it works without the licence.

However, if I disassemble the file using ildasm I get allot of unresolved function names (e.g. '?'(object '?',). I dont really know how i can resolve this problem. Using general de-obfuscators seem to break the program, reassembling the program doesnt work. (it breaks on all the xenocode functions. If i comment those functions out i get errors on the unresolved symbols).

Im a noob in reversing .net and still learning, and I dont know where to go from here.

fwiw, the licence lib used is xheo.com. If i try to load that dll into reflector it says // Invalid method body. I got stuck there also, so i tried this approach which fails also...

Hm, I figured out 1 solution:

1) Unpack exe and other files of the virtual FS
2) Create own signed license dll that has all used functions implemented
3) Change public signature from original license dll to the signature of own license dll in the unpacked exe
4) works

My original question still stands, I would like to be able to disassemble and re-assemble the file using il(d)asm.

My next question: Is it possible to use the public signature of the original dll file as the public signature of my own dll file? This doestn require me to fully unpack and patch the original binary...
