embedded messaging script in worksheet

[Guest]

hi everyone!
I am planning to protect my workbook from being copied over without
purchasing license to be used from one franchise into another.

is it possible to create a script into a workbook that sends a message
(containing information about either info about user of the workbook or
workbook's content) in an effort to find out if my client is following the
rules of the agreement

any guidance or ideas is much valued

sending a surreptitious email with your clients information using his/her
infrastructure would be highly questionable from an ethics standpoint if not
leaving you open to legal action. If you want to do such a thing, then that
"functionality" should be clearly stated in the license/agreement between you
and the client so the client has a clear understanding and has agreed to it.
