Default Excel compiler and licensing

Hello,

I have designed an excel spreadsheet with lots of VBA code and I would like to protect so that I can distribute it to users on a license by license basis..

any recommendations on how to do that?

thank you
andy

Convert it to VB, and create an addIn out of it. Then you can distribute the spreadsheet/.EXE set. Users could still edit the spreadsheet, of course, but your code would not be plagiarizable.

Not sure how to enforce licensing, though.
