Administrative Anaplan XL Installation
Anaplan XL can be used in situations where an Administrator has installed Anaplan XL, but other users will be using it. This might happen, for example, with some software servicing applications or with Citrix server-based installations. Anaplan XL should first be installed in the normal way, then enabled for users using one of these methods.
- Have each user manually add Anaplan XL 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 Anaplan XL addin (32-bit or 64-bit). If not, then click the Browse button and locate the add-in. This will either be XLCubed.xll for 32-bit Excel installations or XLCubed64.xll for 64-bit installations, both installed in the Anaplan XL installation folder.
- Have a special shortcut for Excel with Anaplan XL 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 (x86)\Anaplan\Anaplan XL Reporting\XLCubed.xll" - Run the Anaplan XL utility executable on each profile, perhaps in a script whenever a user logs on:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Anaplan\Anaplan XL Reporting\XLCubed.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 Anaplan XL – 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\XLCubed Ltd\XLCubed Excel Edition)
- the installation folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Anaplan\Anaplan XL Reporting . This means it is valid for all users so generally not applicable for Citrix.
