Hopefully just need to this just once per GUID (ex: ‘Inno Setup’ can generate a unique GUID, just keep the GUID the same per SKU). (The GUID is what MS uses to identify your uploaded file).

Also keep in mind that your exe file is already blacked-listed on that computer via Windows Defender Definition List, so even after you get it approved with MS it will still show up as bad on that computer until you erase/refresh your Defender Definitions list, but will be fine on other (users)...

Commodo signing your exe helps but it is separate from ‘Microsoft Defender SmartScreen’ which will block any new signing company’s exes until its reputation is set over a period of time, however you can upload the file to MS to certify it into their antivirus list: Link: Submit a file for...

One thing I did find impossible to use is their ecommerce stuff. I was hoping that I could auto-send keys (after a client purchase) and then manage users (turn them On or Off) It was one of the reasons I bought this, but nope – it was way too hard for me to comprehend so I just gave up.

Yep that was weird (take a course to set some checkboxes? – yikes!) I never even read their manual except for afterwards (after I was done compiling) to see if there was anything that I missed or that I could tweak…

Their ‘Protocol’ meaning it is simply what they need to produce the program. As far as their ‘front door’ - you can try the compiled worksheet yourself after you compile it. Sure, the program could be better explained, but at least you can click on the i (info) next to the field for more info...

So what? It’s just their protocol for the protection features, just follow the instructions like everyone else does, dummy

Comodo is cheapest which is now Sectigo I believe. You could also just inform your Users to disregard the download warning, and instruct them how to click ‘run anyway’ to continue with the download.

Yes you do, because as soon as the user downloads the file (from anywhere) or runs it; then Windows will check for the code-signing and show the red warning!

Maybe have them email their System ID and then generate a new activation key manually, and then email it to them? I don’t use Woo Commerce, too involved and qwerky at best.

Hello, (from a User) Yes it’s true that .exe files can cause lots of issues with everything from installations to antivirus software as well as not being able to email them. However, you can always save your file as an .xlsc file and just install the .exe somewhere else (in C:/Program Files...

Yes, please if you can add it as a ‘high priority’ for next update…

Great, yes the JSON file method seems promising, or any easy method that we could control User access and Activations…

That would be awesome and I am waiting for that as well (most of us all use PayPal). Especially since PayPal already has many easy-to-implement Php and programming snippet methods available. I believe that XLS Padlock would have 2X more sales of if they made it possible for the lay person to...

Absolutely, there just needs to be a way to reset a key after the program is installed (instead of the key expiring and shutting off the client in order to enter a new key). We simply cannot issue ‘lifetime’ keys (in case of returns, or if they change PCs or users, etc), so we must set an...
