NOTE

The EXE version is safe and does not require you to download any other program

If you have any security issues - please contact your IT Department and see below.

Some Malware and Anti Virus programs dislike the Lockxls exe file system.

In these cases you can try the Padlock version of HACI PRO - released on 20th Dec 2024

If the control ribbon is unavailable - use Ctr Z if you need to Undo any Input.

These version are now protected without the network adaptor ID check

This is to reduce the need for repeated key code requests when moving between cable and wi-fi connections.

It may require a different key code when updating from an older version of the program.

Note - the program is locked to an individual computer (CPU and Hard Disk) - not an individual user

The XLSPadlock protection system is similar to LockXLS and the files have a P suffix.

Currently it is not possible to save the LockXLS eTank-Pro - possibly due to file size.

XLSPadlock will require you to email us your computer ID as before, so we can send a key code.

When you open the downloaded XLSPadlock exe file for the first time, select Original File.

To save your file under a different name - select SAVE and then type the xlsc filename you want.

For subsequent use, you must open the original downloaded XLSPadlock exe file first.

It will then allow you to open your previously saved XLSPadlock xlsc type file.

Version P2 should correct the Code 33 error which follows recent Microsoft updates

Only download this version if you need to.

HACI - PRO & eTANK - PRO now incorporate provisions of EC2 2023

Note:

Once you have renamed the file it can be opened from any version of a new Excel file. The programs give you a 30 day free trial. To use it after that time, you will need to subscribe for a year by sending us an email with your computer ID. The program should automatically ask you to do this. Otherwise click on the LockXLS Options button next to the Help button - see below and then click on the Register button. On receipt of payment, we will generate a key code which will only work on the computer that generated the ID and email it back to you. The program will be updated to add in new features, keep up to date with code changes and absorb comments and make corrections. Therefore, always check this info file via our web page or on the Front tab of the program to see that you are using the latest version or update. HACI are not registered for VAT, so there is no VAT included in the price.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

NOTE

In order to cover the substantial time involved in developing the program to include the provisions of the major EC2 update, the prices are

However, users can now take comfort in the fact that HACI PRO and eTank-PRO have now been "Future-Proofed" for 20 years.

So, 10 to 19 licences attracts 1 licence discount value, 20 to 29 licences attracts 2 licences discount value etc.

The key code will be valid for one year (or less if aligning) from purchase and will work with any updates .

Thereafter it can be extended by re-newing the annual subscription.

The annual subscription allows us to keep the program up to date.

HACI now works towards one primary renewal date per customer / cost centre.

Any new requests for licences will be aligned with the expiry of the largest current order and the fee will be pro rata.

All orders must have an order number that the users have access to.

See above for multiple licence order discounts.

A key code will only be issued provided:-

The user states the order reference that the licence relates to. This enables HACI to give the correct period.

The user copies the Lockxls or Padlock generated computer ID to the clipboard and then pastes it into an email to HACI

A screenshot of the computer ID will not be processed as it is difficult to distinguish I from 1 and 0 from O etc.

Please pay via this Paypal Link.

It will give you the option of a direct payment for HACI PRO or eTANK PRO.

It also gives you the option to Top Up in increments of £1,000, £100, £10 or £1.

This will allow for the payment of part year licences and for other services.

See Screenshot

PAYPAL

For multiple orders you can also pay via an order number and an invoice.

For firms with multiple users, we encourage you to align your orders to one annual date.

We can assist you with this by offering partial year licences leading up to the main renewal date.

We are also offering discounts to multiple licence orders in excess of 10 - see above.

Existing customers who renew or request new users, please note that the same pricing and terms apply for each order.

The terms are on this page, so it should not be necessary to revisit terms and conditions with each new order request.
