FluenceXL Excel Edition can be used in situations where an Administrator has installed FluenceXL, but other users will be using it. This might happen, for example, with some software servicing applications or with Citrix server-based installations. FluenceXL should first be installed in the normal way, then enabled for users using one of these methods.
- Have each user manually add FluenceXL to Excel. In Excel, use the File > Options > Add-Ins section, then in the Manage dropdown at the bottom of the window, select Excel Add-ins . If it is already listed, select the appropriate FluenceXL addin (32-bit or 64-bit). If not, then click the Browse button and locate the add-in. This will either be FluenceXL.xll for 32-bit Excel installations or FluenceXL64.xll for 64-bit installations, both installed in the FluenceXL installation folder.
- Have a special shortcut for Excel with FluenceXL enabled by passing the appropriate XLL file to Excel. For example, the following shortcut would launch Excel with FluenceXL already enabled (you might need to update the directories as required):
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\EXCEL.EXE" "C:\Program Files\FluenceXL Ltd\FluenceXL\FluenceXL.xll" - Run the FluenceXL utility executable on each profile, perhaps in a script whenever a user logs on:
"C:\Program Files\FluenceXL Ltd\FluenceXL\FluenceXL.Excel.Installer.Utility.exe" /reg
License key. The product license key is a file named “license.license”. This can be applied manually by a user by copying it locally and selecting to and applying it from the FluenceXL – Extras – licensing dialog. Alternately the key can be deployed as part of a scripted installation process by copying it to one of the locations below
- the user’s roaming profile ( equivalent of %appdata% Roaming\FluenceXL Ltd\FluenceXL Excel Edition)
- the installation folder C:\Program Files (x86)\FluenceXL Ltd\FluenceXL . This means it is valid for all users so generally not applicable for Citrix.
