Excel connector for PE

Why the excel connector for PE is password protected? Does anyone knows if this code is available for changing?
 
Any suggestion or comment on this will be appreciated.

The PE version is password protected because it contains, inside the code, the means to execute API calls even if the account doesn't normally have access to the API.  If you could view and modify the code, you'd have the means to build any application using the API, thus removing the API limitation.

Not that this wouldn't be nice ... but you can understand why they do it.

You can view almost all the code by looking at the other version.  And if you have changes you'd want to contribute, you can experiment with the open-source version using a Developer account (these are free) and submit them to Ron Hess for consideration in the next version.

Scot is correct, it is basicaly the same code as the Enterprise Edition, with this small addition.
