DiscoverSim - Manual Activation
In rare situations, even though your computer is connected to the internet, DiscoverSim may not be able to establish a connection with our activation servers.
The most common reason for this is a company or personal firewall.
If unable to Activate DiscoverSim by Internet, users with access to email can complete their activation via our manual activation service as shown below:
Navigate to the DiscoverSim installation directory. Select your version of Excel below:
Expand title 32 bit version of Excel Fancy Bullets type circle - For 32 bit versions of Office, the DiscoverSim installation directory is "C:\Program Files (x86)\SigmaXL\ DiscoverSim V2\SXL_Stats".
Expand title 64 bit version of Excel Fancy Bullets type circle - For 64 bit versions of Office, the DiscoverSim installation directory is "C:\Program Files\SigmaXL\ DiscoverSim V2\SXL_Stats".
