Thanks for the response. While I understand requiring maintenance fees for upgrades, a bug fix that renders the application unusable should be provided to your customers at no cost. There was at least one time in the past that no update was provided for over a year. That is ridiculous. That is...

Is there a way to fix this problem without upgrading? I am not upgrading because I am not paying the extra to renew my code-signing certificate plus the cost of this program. I would like for my existing users to be able to continue using the spreadsheet they have already purchased.

I agree. I did not renew my support in 2023 because they had not done an update in a year and a half and I haven’t received any kind of decent response time when I ask questions. Their support is terrible. And of course they released a new version very soon after I didn’t renew.

I have used XLS Padlock for several years and also use the Woo Commerce activation kit. I currently have a trial and full version of a spreadsheet that I license. Is there a way to make one spreadsheet where all the sheets are not available unless a higher version is purchased? I am trying to...

The destination folders are different. I’ll set up different folders for the uninstall and see if that helps.

I have a couple of different versions of a spreadsheet that I bundle with Paquet Builder in separate files. When I create the uninstaller I give the different files unique ID names. When the files unpack they go to different folders, so they are always separate. When I uninstall one of the...

I just compiled my first file in a long time, using the most recent version of XLS Padlock. The first time I tried to compile it stayed on 14% for about 15 minutes, so I figured it was hung up. I closed XLS Padlock with Task Manager. I shut down Excel and re-opened it. When I re-opened the...

I noticed on many programs that I run on my computer that it will automatically notify me if there is an update available for that program (within the program, not by email or other notification). Is there a way to do that with my compiled spreadsheet? I don’t know if it matters or not, but I...

I am also receiving the errors in Paquet Builder. I changed the URL’s as instructed above, but it did not help.

Were you able to open the file that I sent the link to without the error? If so, then I would think that it is a local issue. If not, then not a local error. I was not notified that the file was ever downloaded.

This did not fix the problem permanently. I uninstalled XLS Padlock 2021.1 and reinstalled 2021.0 along with this change and was able to not have to reboot every time I open and close my compiled spreadsheet, but I still occasionally get the weird no-message error box when I try to open my...

Thank you for the reply. I am not really understanding what I need to do. I have the locally installed apps on my computer. I initially did a Quick Repair, which did not require internet access, so I thought that meant it was repairing the local install. When the problem happened again I did...

Is there anyone out there using XLS Padlock with Office 365? I can’t be the only person having trouble after upgrading. Anyone?

I have this same issue. I have had a couple of users figure this out and activated their trial more than 1 time. I had to go into WooCommerce and block that order so they couldn’t do it again.

I am using a button on the ribbon to allow users to enter a new activation key. In the past it has worked fine. I recently upgraded to Office 365. I don’t know if that has anything to do with it not working now or not. Currently it is just closing the application and not popping up the box for...
