Step 1: Download Analytic Solver from AnalyticSolver.com
Before you can fully install Solver, you will need to register at AnalyticSolver.com.
Once you are logged in, download the software from the menu.
Note: you’re using a Mac computer, don’t download the software. Go to this page to learn about your options.
Step 2: Open and Run Analytic Solver
If installation doesn’t automatically start running, you may need to look for Solver in your downloads folder.
You will begin to see installation wizards that indicate that Solver is beginning to install.
Step 3: Open Excel and Log In to Solver using the account you registered with AnalyticSolver.com
Step 4: Understand your license
Trials last 15 days, but if you have a license, your registration will connect excel to your license.
From this screen, you can get acquainted with your license, and how many days remain on your license.
If you want to access this screen again, click on “help” in the Ribbon.
Note: The installation "registers" the add-in for the installing user. The add-in within Excel must be "registered on a per user basis". For multi-user systems please review the Help Desk article here which describes registering the add-in for a single user and creating a "startup script" if all users of a system will be using the Analytic Solver within Excel.

My IT department just installed Analytic Solver but it can only be seen when they log in, not when I do. It would be helpful to know what the constraints are - I assume that it must be installed in the user account. I don't have admin rights so need to have IT run it as an admin user, will that work?
Hi Kerry,
The Analytic Solver is installed for all users by default, installing to either the Program Files or Program Files (x86) folder of the system. However, as you noticed the Analytic Solver is not immediately available to all users post installation. The add-in within Excel must be "registered on a per user basis", more information on that can be found in another Help Desk article here.
If you run into any other issues that we may be able to help with please let us know via email to support@solver.com!
Best,
Brandon T.
