Frequently Asked Student Questions

FAQ #1 – What if I only see one tab?

If you’re seeing one tab, but not the other, you need to go to the Microsoft store and insert BOTH Analytic Solver and Data Mining Apps.

FAQ #2 – The icons inside the Analytic Solver tabs are greyed out and I can’t select anything.

This means you are not logged in, or your account is expired. Go to the Solver Home tab and log in using your account email. If you
have a weak or no internet connection, you may need to try this again, as an internet connection is required to use Analytic Solver. If
you’ve tried to log in several times, and it’s still not logging you in, log in through the License Manager:

Excel → Analytic Solver Tab → Help Icon → Click Local License box in the lower left corner. Allow the License Manager open. Sign in on
the left side of the License Manager. Restart Excel.

If you can log in successfully, and your icons are still greyed out, your license may have expired. See FAQ #4.

FAQ #4 – I received a notification saying my trial expired, but I thought I was supposed to have the software for
the semester?

When you download Analytic Solver, you are downloading a 15-day trial. To get the extended student license, you need to complete
STEP FOUR and purchase the license. Please re-login to ensure that your new license attaches to the trial.

If you have done this already, and received the confirmation email, please forward the confirmation email along with your Course Code
and Account email to our support team.

FAQ #5 – What if I don’t have an internet connection?

An internet connection is required to install and use Analytic Solver. Some Universities’ Wi-Fi connections have limitations, try contacting
your IT department or moving to a different internet connection.
