Woocommerce Activation Kit - Prompt user for Activation token every 'x' times

Hello
With the Woocommerce Activation kit, is it possible to add the ability in the workbooks.json file to prompt the user for the activation token every 'x' times that they open the exe file?
thanks

The XLS Padlock WooCommerce Integration Kit supports several methods for controlling activation, including limiting the number of runs, days, or setting an expiration date, but it does not natively include an option to prompt for the activation token every 'x' number of times the EXE is opened.

However, you can simulate this behavior using the keymaxruns parameter in the workbooks.json file:

Example:

"keymaxruns": 5

This will force the user to re-activate the workbook after every 5 launches (since the key will expire after 5 uses).

Implementation Consideration:
  • Set use_server_expiration = true in config.ini to have the server enforce the usage limit.
  • Make sure...

Implementation Consideration:

  • Make sure keymaxruns is configured under the right variation in workbooks.json.
  • This effectively resets activation after 'x' runs, prompting the user again.
If you're seeking a nag-style reminder without blocking access every time, that would require custom code in the Excel VBA environment to count launches and trigger an alert, but not deny access.
