How to protect VBA commercial aplication

Asked by andy7789 in Visual Basic Programming, Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet Software

Hi X-perts,

I need to protect my excel vba application to make it ready for commercial distribution. It has to be licensed for a single PC based on code activation. I fully understand that VBA project password protection is a weak measure as it could be cracked in a few seconds. If I wrap software activation as a DLL, it could be easily bypassed through the vb code, since it is impossible to protect it.

My questions:

1) Please, suggest me some reasonable concepts how to protect it (at least a reasonable protection level..... obviously, everything can be cracked by good crackers)

2) are there any ready (even commercial) solutions/packages of protecting vba code?

I would appreciate any ideas and suggestionsStart Free Trial
