Installation - Trial

to install the Systems2win Excel add-in trial version

Before Installing

Ensure that your computer meets System requirements

(Windows 7,8, or 10)

If you're on your phone, or a non-Windows computer, re-open this page on your Windows computer.

If your IT Dept. won't allow you to install the trial...

Perhaps install the trial on your home computer, and then once you are convinced of the value that these templates will bring to your work, enlist the support of a manager with sufficient political juice to persuade your IT Department to support you.

Because in the end, your performance evaluation is based on YOUR performance.

How long is the trial period?

The 30-day initial trial period starts automatically (without the need for activation).

Once the 30-day initial trial period has ended, you can request an activation key to Extend your Trial Period for another 30 days.

I am an instructor. Is it possible to have an extended trial period for my students?

Yes. If your school or consulting firm owns at least one seat for your instructor, then yes.

I just installed a new trial, and the trial period has already expired.

Possibility 1) The system clock is faulty

Possibility 2) Your computer already had a Systems2win trial installed at some time in the past

Solutions:

Option 1) Install your new trial on a different computer

Option 2) Submit a request to extend your trial period

The License Key for my extended trial period requires version 17

Download Trial v17

Then (with Excel closed), install it,
and then activate with your new License Key.

How can we try the language translation features?

The trial templates come with Spanish language translation, which you can play with to get the idea for how translations works for any other language.
