VBA Software Copy Protection

[Andy]

I have created a VBA application using Visio and am looking to provide
some form of copy protection/licensing. I was hoping to avoid the use
of a hardware key. Any suggestions of suitable products?

Thanks

Doesn't VBA have password protection? I'm sure folks can probably crack it,
but it's better than nothing.

Just right-click on a module in VBA and choose Properties...you'll find the
protection in there.

Yes, but I would also like to prevent my application being copied and
used on other systems. So protecting the code is a start.

then you're probably better off compiling the intellectual capital of it and
calling it from within the document.
