Excel /vba / computer IP address

I need urgent help.

How can I protect an excel file to a specific computer using VBA?
(A excel file that can only be open or used in a specific computer)

I was thinking in using the computer IP address, does somebody knows how can I get the computer IP, using visual basic in a excel worksheet?

I would really appreciate you help

Thanks

I don't think you can.

Anything that I would use would depend on macros and macros can be disabled by
the user.

And if you try to protect the code, it can be broken pretty fast.

If the data in that workbook is really that sensitive, I don't think excel is
the correct tool for you.
