Code Protection

[Anonymous]

What is the best way to protect VBA code in AutoCAD and Excel from
being copied or stolen?

Is it possible to encrypt VBA code and still have it function properly?

TIA

You can password protect your code in vba, better yet, if you have access to
full blown vb, you can re-work your code a little, then make an .exe for
your project.

Or you could create a DLL in VB and load it in VBA.

While DLL's perform better under most circumstances (mainly due to them
running in-process) it leaves the end user holding the bag, since they need
a macro to run the dll from. Of course you can always make the macro
yourself and distribute it that way, I'm not sure what the legalities of it
are though if you are selling it. Assuming you want to protect your code for
distribution reasons that is.
