Locking vs Encrypting a Workflow

[smoskowitz]

Good Day Everyone --

First off - -I am super excited for Inspire!!!!!

Quick question! I remember an option to Encrypt a workflow. I built a macro I wanted to encrypt, but not only is that option no longer available to me, but I see a new option called Lock Workflow (see below.)

When I open the Lock Workflow feature, I am presented with:

Here are my questions -- I did some searhing and there isn't a whole lot on this.

1) Is Lock Workflow the new Encrypt Workflow? If ot, where is Encrypt Workflow?

2) In the first highlighted field -- what is this serial number there are referring to?

3) In the second highlighted field -- what exactly does the experation data do?

Thanks for your help!

Kind Regards,

Seth

Hi @smoskowitz to answer your question yes lock your workflow is Encrypt your workflow. This link explains in more detail. However the snapshot below should answer your other questions.
