License individual sheets

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 make it where I only have one file to update when I make changes. Currently I have separate workbooks with different features and the user has to download a new spreadsheet to get the added features.

It would be great if I could put all the features in one workbook and the user can see them, but cannot access them without upgrading.

So what I would like is for someone to be able to put in a new license code and the sheets with the extra features unlock.

Is that even a possibility?
 
Good luck I used it before windows 10 has not worked since on win 10 or 11, I had to pay through 2 upgrades and countless hours of self administered torture following their useless helpdesk solutions which never worked, I have requested a pro-rata refund five or six times and never had the courtesy of a reply or any acknowledgement at all, it is hit and miss since win 10 at best, good luck, do not expect much customer help or satisfaction. They send you to the user forum where no one replies hardly or offers any real solutions. It is a cop out.
 
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.
 
Thank you for your feedback. Our apologies if we did not reply to you in a correct time.
We’ll take it into account to improve our response time.

You could do this yourself with VBA and see if the current user is licensed or not thanks to the trial test API available here:


The VBA macro would be started from the workbook_open event.
It would hide the registered sheets in the trial state.
It’s even possible to make this code into our VBA compiler to make it more secure.
