Visual Basic for Applications Licensing

Once you have integrated and evaluated the benefits of Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) in your application, you are ready to license VBA. Licensing VBA allows you to distribute your VBA-enabled application to customers.

Here's how to license VBA:


Contact Summit Software Company, Microsoft's Authorized VBA agent for licensing information. Summit will answer your business and technical questions and guide you through the final decision process.
Sign a VBA License Agreement. Microsoft offers a range of pricing options to address the most common independent software vendor (ISV) business models. Summit Software will help you select the pricing option that best meets your needs, and then help you finalize your VBA license agreement with Microsoft.
Distribute VBA to your customers. Once the license agreement is in place, you have the right to distribute your VBA-enabled application(s) to your customers.
Leverage Summit Software for quality support services. While you prepare to ship your application. We invite you to take advantage of the support services (http://msdn.microsoft.com/isv/technology/vba/support/default.aspx) available from Summit. To learn more about licensing VBA, please review the list of Frequently Asked Questions (http://msdn.microsoft.com/isv/technology/vba/faq/default.aspx).

This is for adding VBA to your application. So you make an application (.exe) file and it doesn't have VBA in it. Now you can add VBA to your application.

Word Perfect is a good example. Corel licensed from MS, so you can use WP script or VBA.
