This workbook contains connections that need IE 9 or later in order to be refereshed

I’m getting this unsupported features error message. I installed IE 11, but i still receive it. This same error comes up anytime I go to the DATA TAB and try to import data into the spreadsheet.

Is the error message just part of the protection (since it only does it in a compiled workbook and not when using excel regularly)?

This is a known issue in V2019 that will be fixed in the incoming V2019.1. V2018.1 isn’t affected by the problem.

All older versions are free to download with purchase of one license, correct?

Sure. You can get them at https://www.xlspadlock.com/account/downloads

I don’t have an activation code to be able to view and compare the features for older versions
