Dynamics NAV bug on protecting Addon’s objects

If you’re a NAV ISV and you have developed an addon for Dynamics NAV, you’re quite sure that your rights on code are protected and your customer can’t open your objects or modify them (due to the object ID protection).

Unfortunately, this is not true… there’s a trick that permits to everyone to read the code of a protected object despite the license protection level. You can also edit and modify the addon objects and create your own.

Obviously I can’t describe how to unprotect an object here, but I’ve signalled this problem to Microsoft because I think this is a bug of the embedded Object Designer tool.
