I am in the middle of video. Not sure what will be coming next. But Already given a like button. Really good effort to explain in detail. Great effort. Keep up the GOOD work BROTHER.
Few years ago I have searched web for the predefined expiry code and found it. But how it works and a bit easier code has found now. Is it necessary to mention here that I am one of the fans of your clarity and beautiful presentation? 💕
Dear Sir, I became fan of yours because every time my creations get credited to others which is not problem for me at all but if only he/she is the right person to deserve the same. I have some queries Sir, 1. I have followed every step of yours but each time the file opens it automatically changes the date as todays date so, it never get expires but your tutorial said that it will fixed at the time of second time opening the file? pls. help 2. How to restrict the workbook from saving macro-free workbook? 3. If I want to take classes from you what is the procedure and it's better if it is in a recorded format.
Thank you very much indeed. This is really cool. The way you explained is superb. I am sure many people including me will benefit from you. Without hesitation, I subscribed liked and commented. Please upload more
thanks for the explaining in such detail. question. is there a way to put the expiration date in a text file on a web server and then look it up. This would help in cases where once clients pays we can just change the date on our side and the workbook opens again. what would the coding be for this lookup
Awesome Work done learnt a lot. Sir is there any way to open the file if the set expiry date is not changed to another advanced date. Is there any way that we can create for Master Activation Code for the creator of the workbook and user activation code for user, and and if the file is distributed to other person by the one already using it it is set to default use of 10-15 date after that it gets locked and can only be activated by providing the user activation code
Great video and perfect function!!!! As I understand I need to have a copy without this code. Otherwise I cant open it my self after expiration date I tried open the file holding "shift" at the same time but that do not work.
Hi Sir, very informative video and I liked it very much. This video is very useful for me and many others too. By watching your video I also created a expiry code and is working excellent.. thank you very much sir for this video. Just a query sir, if the date goes beyond the expiry date then how to open the workbook? Everytime it keeps on closing
Very informative and easy to understand and follow. The only trouble is that I can't get the date to show in the relevant cell or the message box to appear. Any suggestions please? Please ignore - now working, fault lay somewhere with me!
Thank you Mr, Nabil for this great video! very informative for me , but I wanna ask u sir if I wanna the left days alert pop-up only when the current date near to expire date not far from it. PS , I wanna email u about how to set a password to the vb code . thank you sir,
Well done nice and respectable lesson and also the code is great, only if I may, just say that you can easily bypass the code by changing system time in Windows and then check and see that the workbook has become available again .... I would love if you have a solution available for this, I have Some ideas but with a bit of complex code
Very good work Mr Nabil. But after expiry screen appears then clicking OK. The screen of (save - don't save - cancel) appears. And when I click cancel the file opens. I'm working on office 2019.
Hi - I love your video. I have created an expiry date using the 2nd video example. The only thing I don't want tho is each time you open the spreadsheet it brings up the msgbox saying they have 365 days to use the file. Can a code be added where this only appears once upon opening file and then starts warning them towards the end of the subscription? Like a month out?
Does this work in Excel 2007? I followed all the steps but it doesn't show the message in opening. It show it only manualy when u go to VBA Code and press Run (F5). Thank you in advance!
Thank you very much for sharing this knowledge to us, the rest! It's been very interesting to watch and learn with simple and clear steps! I tried to test my skills in following your steps, as described in your video, in a simple test file of my own, but as soon as I enter VB editor and select This Workbook, I get the message : Variable Uses an automation type not supported in Visual Basic. What's that and what can I do to eliminate it? Thanks a lot and please keep up the great work! Highly Appreciated! "

Hello Thanks for this great video. Is there a way of making something like a licence such that after expiry the sheet can be activated again? I will be glad to hear from you
Glad you liked the video. For your specific work situation you need a consulting service that I DO NOT provide. My time is dedicated to FREE training to Thousands of viewers not to individual work situations. Thanks
Thank you for a great video! Very informative - and just what i needed. I was just wondering if there were any news considering how to force the user to enable macro´s. If i open a expired document without enabling macros i can use it as it was not expired.
Thanks for the tutorial. It is very amazing! Would you show how the owner can open the file after it is expired? and how to password protect the vba code?
That's a very good point. However I can't answer it in a public comment as not to encourage unauthorized access to files. Email me and I'll be glad to answer.
@@Officeinstructor Thanks for your time to look into my question, greatly appreciated. For the vba code to lock the file after it is expired, I know how to set the password to protect the code. However, to open the file with password after it is expired, the file itself has to be opened, so it kind of defeats the purpose of the vba code to lock the file.
I totally understand your point. There is a way to do that but as I said , I cannot write it down here in a public comment. Email me and I will tell you how to do it.
@@Officeinstructor can I get you mail id sir the video was very helpful and I am very thankful to you for sharing this information but after expiry how can a owner open and change the expiry date can you please share that through mail can I get your mail I'd
Great video sir but I am facing a problem that with the increase of date the days of trial is also increasing instead of decreasing and if I decrease the date then the trial version is decreasing suppose 18 March to 19 March trail version becomes 15 days to 16 days and for 18 March to 17 mrach the trial version becomes 15 days to 14 days please help me in solving the issue
I do not know the problem you are facing but I recommend watching the video closely and do not practice on one of your important work files in case you mistakenly lock it
Hi there, I would like to know if it is possible to make an excel file shareable so that multiple users can work in the workbook but not copy-able so the user wont be able to make copies of it.
very nice thanks alot for the video. well my question is i am using code for force the user to turn on the macro . and your code of expiry but it give me error . how to merge these 2 codes ??? they run perfectly independently .. thanks.
the VBA code runs everytime because you’ve have macros enabled in the security options, while actually you have to force the user to enable macro before or the code will not run at all. How to merge the code for a)force the user to enable macro in order to start the vba code b)set the expiration date?
Officeinstructor Thank you for your availability and for your videos. Can’t wait for that video but pls remember in your next video to show how to merge the code for force the user to enable macros in order to run the VBA code for the expiration date. Honestly I got the two different codes but really don’t know how to merge them together..
In the IsEmpty(...), excel does not recognise Range(...). Value = Date.... Gives a complie error for using Date... I guess it should be coz of 64 bit excel... Can u write the code for compatibility as well.. Thanks in advance
Hello Officeinstructor I am from Mongolia. sorry for my bad english i used this code for protecting macro excel template, but if user change the date of computer, then it will be available to use the template. how to solve that?
You are correct, the code reads the computer date. However, You can type a date in a distant cell (whatever you want) and modify your code to compare to that cell.
I did it on my file, but unfortunately it is not opening now due to date over what to do now. Another thing is without micro enable excel file should it possible
What happens if the person is able to open the file since it has not expired but then use the visual basic editor to just remove the expiry date? Thanks.
Is there another option to prevent system date roll-back and execute file. The code you wrote can be tricked by ssytem date roll-back. For instance can you offer a code to retrieve date online so in this case, even system date rolled back this will not affect the execution.
I opened the first file and set the expiry date to yesterday. When the file is opened, i selected option of disable macros. In that case i am still able to open the file.
