 From other posts of the OP I'd rather think that he's after 
copy/IP-protection.

So the answer is: if your code contains algorithms worth stealing (which 
in 99.99% isn't the case, objectively) or the program as whole is worth 
being hacked because of public interest combined with high prices (SPSS, 
photoshop), IT WILL BE. Even if it has been under-water-mouth-coded in 
assembler.
