Access to registration information from VBA macro.

LockXLS allows to get registration information about locked workbook using VBA macro. For example this code shows, was Activation Code entered, or not:

Method LockXLSRuntime.GetActivationInfo( <workbook>, <option> ) may receive the following options:

• registered - returns True if Activation code has been entered and False, if not.
• working_period - returns working period of this workbook - how many days this workbook will work on customer's PC.
• usage_period - returns count of days passed from first opening of this workbook.
• serial_number - returns serial number, used to activate this workbook.
• customer_id - returns customer ID, used to activate this workbook.

Method LockXLSRuntime.IsWorkbookActivated( <workbook> ) returns True if this workbook has been successfully activated. This is same function as GetActivationInfo with "registered" option.

Method LockXLSRuntime.IsWorkbookLocked( <workbook> ) returns True if this workbook object represents workbook protected with LockXLS. You can use this method to distinguish locked and unlocked versions of your workbooks.

Method LockXLSRuntime.GetComputerCode( <options> ) returns Computer Code for this PC. Possible such values for options:

• 1 - use CPU to generate Computer Code
• 2 - use HDD to generate Computer Code
• 4 - use Network Adapter to generate Computer Code

You can use this technique to limit functinality of your workbook during trial period. If GetActivationInfo function with registered option returns FALSE - you workbook is in trial period.
