Basic Installation

For the most part, Macabacus installs just like any other Windows software. However, if you are having problems with installation, please follow the steps below carefully.

1. Sign into Windows as the end user

Sign into Windows as the end user, not an administrator (unless the administrator is the end user), before installing Macabacus.

2. Download the installer

Download the installer named Macabacus-x.x.x.msi .

3. Run the installer

Run the installer. Request IT support for an "over-the-shoulder" installation if you do not have privileges to install software on your PC. Do not attempt to manually load the installer (.msi file) as an add-in in your Office applications via the native COM Add-ins or Add-ins dialogs.

4. Sign out of Windows, if necessary

If an administrator performed an "over-the-shoulder" installation, sign out of Windows to complete the installation.

5. Activate or evaluate

Macabacus may prompt you for an email address upon starting Excel, PowerPoint, or Word. Enter either (a) the email address of an authorized user to activate Macabacus, if you have already purchased a subscription, or (b) the email address you expect to use to manage your subscription if you later decide to purchase Macabacus to initiate your free trial.

You can activate Macabacus at any time using these instructions. If you are a corporate user and your email address is not recognized when you try to activate, ask your Macabacus account administrator to configure your access.
