I have a client that designed a MS Excel VBA project for the enginering industry. He would now like to "lock" the excel sheet to prevent viewing of the source.
He would also like to create a system whereby the app requires an activation code before running. This code will then prevent the app from being copied.
We also need a keygen app to supply the unlock/activation key based on a challenge code supplied by client (unique to client's pc to prevent copy)
The client also needs a help function in the app. He will supply the content, but you need to create the actual help file.
