YG's CBD Installation Guide
YG's CBD Installation Guide
To create a new volume when only the C Drive is available, open Windows Management by pressing 'Windows + R' and typing 'diskmgmt.msc'. Right-click on the C Drive and select 'Shrink Volume'. Enter at least 1000 MB to shrink and then right-click the unallocated space to format it into a 'New Simple Volume'. This new volume provides an alternative location to store YG's CBD, which prevents conflicts from running off the C Drive .
The 'Enable Content' message is essential because it allows macros to operate, which are crucial for the software's functionality, specifically for customizing Excel to perform construction cost breakdowns. Without enabling these macros, the tool cannot function correctly .
Maintaining the telegram/email message with application data is crucial because it may be required for future updates, ensuring continuity and full functionality of YG's CBD. Losing this data could hinder access to updates and support, potentially necessitating repurchase or re-registration .
To register for a fully functional version, you open Excel, enable content in the 'Registration File', provide necessary data, and send the data via Telegram or email. After payment and sending the bank transfer slip, a specific password for the PC is shared. Enter this password into the registration file to activate it. Retaining the application data is important because it may be required for future updates .
Potential error reasons include saving YG's CBD on the C Drive, or having another workbook open when trying to open the Master File. Corrective measures involve saving the CBD on another partition and ensuring other workbooks are closed without exiting Excel to successfully open the Master CBD file .
The primary system requirements to install YG's CBD include having a Windows 10 or 11 operating system, Microsoft Excel versions 2010, 2013, or 2016, and a partition other than the C Drive .
The security settings in Excel affect the enabling of macros, which are crucial for customizing YG's CBD for construction tasks. While lowering security to allow macros makes the tool operational, it potentially increases risk from other less secure macros. It is prudent to adjust settings per file requirements, allowing macros selectively to mitigate security concerns .
Saving YG's CBD package in default folders such as 'My Documents', 'Desktop', 'Downloads', or 'Telegram Desktop' is not recommended as they are subfolders under the C Drive, which is not permitted. Instead, the package should be copied to a drive other than the C Drive, which can be created if necessary .
If the 'Enable Content' message does not appear, the security settings in Excel are likely set too high. For Excel 2010 and 2013, go to 'File > Options > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings > Macro Settings' to select 'disable with notification'. For Excel 2016, close the file, right-click the 'Master CBD' file, select 'Properties', and check 'Unblock' in the security section. This enables macros that are essential for YG's CBD .
