on your PC, which show various LockXLS features.

The application doesn't require LockXLS Runtime to be installed on your PC. So, you
don't need to install anything to open this spreadsheet. This application works as a source Excel document,
but it has securely hidden formulas and VBA Code.
Setup package was created by LockXLS. It does the following:
- SampleApplication.exe file is installed into My Documents\LockXLS Samples\Trial Period Protection folder.
- The folder LockXLS Samples is created in the Start | All Programsmenu.
- The shortcut Trial Period Protection.xls is created in this folder. It points to the SampleApplication.exe.

Control Panel | Add and Remove Programs. Find it in the products list and uninstall.
