title: Excel Solver Password: what is it and where can it be acquired/bought?
body: <p>I've been exploring VBA and excel and I've been writing a few basic codes around the Excel Solver. However robust the Excel Solver may appear, it's just not fast enough for my optimization problem (one iteration takes 20 minutes).</p>
  
  <p>I've been looking around and speaking with more experienced programmers, and the consensus is that VBA is simply not fast and that C++, C#, and especially CUDA languages are much faster.</p>
  
  <p>Looking at the VBA modules in Excel, the Solver module is locked by a password. I've been searching for that password and where it can be acquired for weeks to no avail.</p>
  
  <p>Questions: Can this password be acquired? If so, how? Can it be bought from Microsoft? How much?</p>
  
  <p>Objective: To get the Solver VBA to be able to potentially convert it to C# or C++ to make the optimization process faster. </p>
  
  <p>P.S.
  I've looked at Microsoft Solver Foundation but it wasn't helpful.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you.</p>
