✔️ Online Deactivation Customization: It is now possible to hide the ‘Manual Deactivation’ option from the Online Deactivation screen.
✔️ Enhanced User Interface: Changes to the interface, such as renaming sections and reorganizing features, aim to make navigation more intuitive.
✔️ Distribute App Feature: This new function simplifies the distribution of your Excel workbook applications by packaging them into single Zip archives, installers, or directly copying them to specified folders.
The update of our Excel compiler also includes overhauled documentation with interactive syntax highlighting for VBA code snippets, making it easier to apply the software’s features effectively.
