Activation Keys for Excel Workbooks

Activation keys are a core feature of XLS Padlock, offering a powerful licensing system for your Excel workbooks. This system allows you to require end users to activate the application with a key before they can access your protected workbook:

👉 Activation keys can be configured with an expiration date or a limited number of runs. They can also be hardware-locked, meaning a key will only work on a specific computer.

Finally, you can implement online activation and validation features to remotely control how users access your workbook and automate the delivery of activation keys.
