XLS Padlock

XLS Padlock is an outstanding solution for every Excel user looking for hassle-free and effective copy protection for their workbooks. You can compile any Excel spreadsheet into an EXE application with encrypted working formulas, safeguarded VBA code, and a variety of useful security features.

With XLS Padlock, you can prevent illegal copying of your workbooks using hardware locks, dongles, or USB protection. Keep your VBA code secure by converting code parts into binary, ensuring ultimate privacy. Show your own End User License Agreement and display your company logo or a custom splash screen at startup.

Worksheet changes made by your customers are safely stored and can be restored anytime, and the apps can expire after a specific number of days, runs, or on a particular date. Moreover, you can disable the toolbar, ribbon, and standard Excel actions such as print, copy to clipboard, and save as.

You can use your own version information, company name, copyright, and icon in workbook EXE files, ensuring complete control over who accesses your workbook with online activation and remote control from your web server. You can also sell your workbooks in your own online shop or set up subscriptions for regular income using free PHP kits offered by XLS Padlock.

One fascinating feature is that Microsoft Excel remains untouched on startup, and the original workbook is never modified. Additionally, XLS Padlock allows you to automatically apply a code signature to your spreadsheet EXE files before distribution and create an installer for your workbook EXE files with shortcut creation, EULA, and uninstaller.

Spreadsheet EXE applications are stand-alone and require only Microsoft Excel to work. XLS Padlock supports all Excel versions and bitness (x86 or x64), and you can access full documentation at your fingertips. Overall, XLS Padlock is an excellent tool for Excel users looking for a comprehensive workbook copy-protection solution with a plethora of useful functionalities.
