    "VBA Protection doesn't work in the DoneEx!"

    April 7, 2011  |   By jackm62

    Pros

    VBA code can be easily unlocked.

    Cons

    Product has important limitations, which makes is useless for complex workbooks.

    Summary

    Program looks like a students work, not like a professional product. It is not user friendly at all - just look at the it's annoying NAG screen. But the biggest problem with DoneEx - VBA macros was cracked in several minutes! There is no protection at all. In many cases "compiled" workbook doesn't work as it should. Fake. This is not a compiler at all.

    DoneEx, I've used trial version from your website. Your reply about "genuine" software is nonsence.

    Workbook with protected VBA code is published on your website - samplevba.exe. I've used it for my tests. You claim that it shows your VBA protection :) But in fact there is no protection.

    It is understandable why you can see VBA code after compiling a workbook in trial version of the DoneEx XCell Compiler. The ?Protect VBA? option is not available in trial version of the product.
    This is the feature of business licenses. You may find details in the feature comparison table on our site.
