When you purchase a multiple license version of XLSafe PRO you have the ability to authorise specific computers which can open the protected spreadsheets without going through the activation process.

You can distribute your protected files to their intended users without worrying that these users will pass on your spreadsheets to other third parties. This can be achieved through:
