Excel workbook copy protection software – Excel Compiler

The DoneEx XCell Compiler is a powerful tool that ensures top-notch copy protection for Microsoft Excel workbooks.

By compiling your workbook into an executable application (EXE file), all your formulas are secured and converted into a binary format. This binary format ensures that the formulas cannot be restored back into the original Excel format, undoubtedly providing an additional layer of protection.

At the heart of the product is a formula calculation engine that we have developed ourselves. This engine replaces Excel’s own formula calculation engine and is the only way to provide the strongest protection for all formulas in a spreadsheet. Our formula engine performs the calculations behind the scenes, while Microsoft Excel formats and displays the calculated results, keeping your workbook’s formulas secure.

In addition to protecting your formulas, the DoneEx XCell Compiler also offers reliable copy protection for your VBA code. Our software uses complex solutions, including making the VBA project unviewable, obfuscating the VBA code, and removing literals such as static string values and numbers from the VBA code. Clicking the ‘Compile’ button secures your entire VBA project with this level of protection.

XCell Compiler is Easy To Use and Feature Rich

The best part is that you don’t need to be a programmer or an Excel expert to use the DoneEx XCell Compiler. The product’s user-friendly interface makes it easy for anyone to compile their workbooks and protect them from unauthorized access or copying.

With the registration/license management feature, you can explicitly ensure that your workbook is only accessible on authorized computers. This is done through the use of a hardware locking mechanism, which prevents the workbook from being illegally copied from one computer to another.

Additionally, you have the ability to add your own splash screen image, icon, End User License Agreement (EULA), and more. This level of customization allows you to tailor the software to your specific needs and branding.

Overall, the DoneEx XCell Compiler is the ultimate solution for those who need to protect their Microsoft Excel workbooks. With its powerful formula calculation engine, robust VBA code protection, and user-friendly interface, this software is the ideal choice for anyone who wants to keep their work protected from unauthorized access and usage.
