Updating the softwareAnalyse-it checks for updates periodically and tells you when one is available. You can also check for one yourself.

  • Check your maintenance is active. See Maintenance.
  • If your computer is behind a firewall, open TCP port 443 (HTTPS) for communication to license-server.analyse-it.com.

When Analyse-it is installed for everyone who uses the computer, updating it replaces the copy everyone shares. Windows asks for administrator rights when the update starts. If you do not have them, ask your administrator to install the update; see Deploying the software.

Important: When your administrator has turned off updates, Analyse-it does not tell you about updates and Check for Updates is not available. See Turning off updates.
  1. Start Microsoft Excel to start Analyse-it.
  2. On the Analyse-it ribbon tab, click Analyse-it, and then click Check for Updates.
  3. Click Check Now.

    The software uses your internet connection to check for updates.

  4. If an update is available:
    • Click Download and Install to install it now.
    • Click Download to keep the installer and install it later.

Analyse-it asks you to close Microsoft Excel before it installs the update. Analyse-it starts again with Excel afterwards, and your license stays activated.
