If by **.NET Reactor** (by Eziriz) you mean the .NET code obfuscation and licensing tool, then:

- It is **not free for production/commercial use**.
- There is a **free trial/evaluation version** you can download and test. ([eziriz.com](https://www.eziriz.com/help/ordering/why_register/index.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com), [Faronics](https://www.faronics.com/apps/net-reactor?utm_source=chatgpt.com))
- Software protected with the trial version displays an "unregistered version" message and cannot be legally distributed as a production-protected application. ([eziriz.com](https://www.eziriz.com/help/ordering/why_register/index.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com))
- Paid licenses are available (for example, single-developer and company licenses). ([eziriz.com](https://www.eziriz.com/order.htm?utm_source=chatgpt.com), [eziriz.com](https://www.eziriz.com/renewal.htm?utm_source=chatgpt.com))

If you're looking for a **free alternative**, common options include:

- Obfuscar (open source)
- Dotfuscator Community Edition (limited free edition, often bundled with Visual Studio) ([Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/dotnet/comments/w4lobd?utm_source=chatgpt.com))

If your goal is to protect a .NET application, I can also compare .NET Reactor with Obfuscar, Dotfuscator, ConfuserEx, and other obfuscators.
