Licence

fxRender automatically attempts to register your computer and start a free trial when it first starts. However, if you see the Network button on the toolbar then the program is having difficulty connecting to the Internet, so please check your internet connection. You can also configure Network Options within fxRender Options.

There are three main ways thay you can purchase a Licence, the first two require fxRender to have internet access:

  • Clicking the 'Buy' botton within fxRender. This will take you to the normal purchasing page and will automatically associated your computer with the new licence.
  • Buy one or more licences on this website page: Buy. Once you purchased a licence you will instantly be assigned an account and an 'Activation Key' of the form: A#### #### #### #### #### #### #### #### #### #### (41 letters long). Copy this key into fxRender by pasting them into box labeled 'Key:' within Options:Licence, i.e.
    Licence Activation
  • Offline activation
    1. Buy one or more licences (as above) and login into your Account on the website.
    2. In the bottom right of the screen click Offline licence activation to open an 'Offline activation' form.
    3. Also start Excel with fxRender and open the "Options->Licence".
    4. Copy the unique 'Device ID' to the web-form and click 'Send'.
    5. Copy the generated 'Key' from the web-form to fxRender.

Trouble Shooting

Note: If you are installing fxRender on a machine without Internet access (perhaps you have a restricted or secure private network) our standard installer will not work. So please contact us to obtain the appropriate software.

Otherwise, please ensure the additional components (listed below) are available on your system:

  • Microsoft .NET Framework:

    • Microsoft .NET Framework

    The Microsoft .NET Framework (pronounced dot net) is a software framework developed by Microsoft that runs primarily on Microsoft Windows. The .NET Framework is intended to be used by most new applications created for the Windows platform.

    It is essential for fxRender to work, as it provides functionality for the user interface, data access, cryptography, numeric algorithms, and network communications.

    The fxRender installer should automatically install this. However, if you need to install this manually, then the follow minimum versions are needed:

  • Excel .NET Programmability Support must be installed to enable Primary Interop Assemblies (PIAs) for your version of Excel. If during the original installation of Microsoft Excel this option was deselected or Excel was installed before the .NET Frameworks, then follow these steps:

    • Excel .NET Programmability Support

    • Open the Control Panel (Windows Start - Control Panel)
      • If you are in 'Category' view, select 'Programs'
    • Select 'Programs and Features'
    • Find 'Microsoft Office 2010'
    • Right click and select 'Change'
      • Change option
    • Select 'Add or Remove Features':
      • Change: add or remove features
    • Select the .NET Programmability Support, and enable 'Run from My Computer':
      • Change: add or remove features

    Alternatively the PIAs can be downloaded and installed from Microsoft:

Uninstall

Should you need to uninstall fxRender:

  • From the Windows 'Start Menu' search for 'Add or remove programs'.
  • Find the 'fxRender' package under the list of 'Apps & features'.
  • Click on fxRender and select 'Uninstall'.
  • Repeat the above if you have multiple versions of fxRender installed.
