Online Installation Manual

Optimize Spreadsheets with the Most Powerful Excel Add-Ins.

ExcelAnalyzer helps Excel users build better, error-free spreadsheets. All our applications add an extra tab to the Excel ribbon, giving you formula auditing, dependency tracing, and reporting tools without leaving your workbook.

Before you start

  • Excel version: Excel 2016 or later, including Microsoft 365
  • Operating system: Windows 10 or later (32-bit and 64-bit)
  • .NET Framework: version 4.8 or later — if it’s missing, the installer downloads and installs it automatically
  • IT approval: it may be necessary to check with your IT department before installing third-party software

Step 1: Download the setup file

Save the “Setup_ExcelAnalyzer” file on your local drive/computer (for example on your C: or D drive)

Step 2: Close Microsoft Office

Close all open Microsoft Office applications, including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. This is especially important for the initial installation.

Step 3: Run the installer

Double-click Setup_ExcelAnalyzer.exe and follow the on-screen steps in the ExcelAnalyzer Setup Wizard.

Note: ExcelAnalyzer requires .NET Framework 4.8 or later. If it isn’t already installed, the setup automatically downloads and installs it for you.

Step 4: Accept the license agreement

During the first installation, you’ll be asked to accept the License Agreement. Review the Conditions of Use before continuing, then follow the remaining installation steps.

Step 5: Launch Excel

Open Excel. On a new installation, the registration form will appear automatically. If you’re updating an existing installation, your current registration remains valid and no action is needed.

Step 6: Register your license

Choose one of three registration options:

  1. Register your license key (most common option) — check your inbox for an email from info@spreadsheetsoftware.com containing your license key (check your spam folder if it hasn’t arrived). Enter your email and paste the license key, then click Validate license.
  2. Register company license server — choose this option if your company runs an ExcelAnalyzer license server, or contact your IT team for guidance.
  3. Offline registration — choose this option if your computer doesn’t have access to our license server.

Make sure you’re connected to the internet before validating your license.
