Hi,

Is there any software (licensing tool) to protect excel workbooks against
being copied from hardware to hardware? I have created an application within
a workbook which I need to distribute with a license agreement and key etc.

any ideas ?

Thanks
Bijan

The best way to do it would be to compile your code into a COM add-in.

Workbook protection is not and cannot be made secure.

Another and probably easier way is to move bits of your code to a VB6
ActiveX dll and have your protection in that.
