Guys, you have to be very, very cautious when using the cracked Daniel T. Li spreadsheets because if those spreadsheets are cracked from the Demo versions downloaded on his site and not the ones purchased from him, then the results will not be correct. It is programmed into each one of his sample spreadsheets available for download on his website to produce erroneous results since alot of people will try to crack them.

Before using them, you need to make sure that these were provided by somebody who purchased a set. Otherwise, my word of advice is to not use them.

HI all

When I unprotected some of the Daniel LI spreadsheets (for example the "Wind ASCE 07-05) it got unprotected. But I can't see the forumulas in the cells. All the cells are having constant values...!!

Can anyone help me in this regard please ?

Most of his newer spreadsheets are this way to keep someone from unprotecting them. Not all of the his spreadsheet are like this

@dinu69in
Downloaded one more time the spreadsheets and i checked your Wind ASCE 07-05.
I can see and change every cell. Here i'm looking to 13.8 in the velocity pressure and you can see the formula.



@haze

Your phrase sounds like "Most of cats are white. Not all cats are like this." Do you have any reference for this theory ? And please if you answer to an user even a real answer don't reply filling one more time the thread with the other user text. Use new reply.

I have download some of his spreadsheet from time to time over the years. I have used passware to unlock them . Some of the spreadsheets will calculate and work ok. Others the formula has been removed and just a numeric values is added. No calculation is done.

I never checked the results and i don't use the spreadsheets so i suppose you're right. I can't see the connection of the password protection and the content of the cells. The protected spreadsheet give right results and only the unprotected have numeric values ?
Maybe some spreadsheets was modified or was demo from the begining and other are the full spreadsheet. If you have one working protected and without formula after removing the password i want to check so please send one.

Above statement is accurate, link below is an example of demo-ware (disabled-ware) among countless others, still protected spreadsheet/unaltered.

at any situation you need to double check your calculations.
