In this tutorial, you will find step-by-step instructions on how to install and uninstall the Business edition of Ultimate Suite for Excel. Also, you can learn to install the Ultimate Suite Personal edition, install and activate the Terminal Server editon, and deploy the Ultimate Suite Business edition via SCCM or via GPO.
If you face any problems during installation, please visit our Ultimate Suite installation troubleshooting page.
Also, have a look at the Collection for Outlook installation tutorial.
The Business edition of Ultimate Suite can be used for both purposes, private and business, by a single or several users of a single computer.
By default, the Business edition installs its executable files to the AppData\Local folder of the currently logged user, so your permissions should allow you to change this folder as well as to run any executable files from this folder (typical for the standard user accounts of Windows). When installing into AppData\Local, Ultimate Suite Business will be added to Excel and activated for the current user only. The AppData\Local based installation allows administrators to install Ultimate Suite Business for several users of one computer, e.g. for the selected users on a terminal server.
To support roaming profiles, you can install Ultimate Suite Business into the \AppData\Roaming folder, that will solve possible licensing issues when a user migrates between terminal servers.
Also, you can install Ultimate Suite Business for all users on the computer by simply selecting the Everyone option during installation. In this case, all executable files will be installed into Program Files (x86), but each user should activate his/her copy of Ultimate Suite.
Finally, the Business edition supports the deployment via Group Policy Objects and SCCM. But there is one important limitation - do not install Ultimate Suite Business into roaming profiles if you use the Office deployed from Microsoft Store since this Office doesn't support this scenario.
Please decide if you want the add-in to be available to all users of your PC or to you only:
Let's start Excel and make sure the Ablebits add-ins have been installed and two new tabs have appeared in the ribbon: Ablebits Data and Ablebits Tools:
To activate your Ultimate Suite license after installation, follow the Activation guide.
Instead of interactive installation, power users or administrators may install Ultimate Suite Business with one command line.
To install and activate Ultimate Suite for the current user, enter the following command in Command Prompt:
msiexec /i "C:\Downloads\excel-ultimate-suite.msi" /q REGISTRATIONNAME="Your License Name" REGISTRATIONKEY="Your License Key"
Press Enter.
You can activate the Business edition for all users at once, for this, select one of the ways below.
To activate the license via Group Policy, refer to the Add registration information via GPO guide.
Another way is to deploy via a registry file.
If you use AppLocker in your organisation, do not forget to configure it to let the Ablebits add-ins work. Find a quick manual on this page: Configure AppLocker to let the add-in work correctly
If you use another Windows version, uninstall the add-in via Control Panel:

Hi, can you please provide registration number for Digital River invoice ID: number, Ultimate Suite 2016 for Microsoft Excel.

Hi Paul,
Thank you for contacting us. I have just replied to your request via email. Thank you.
I ordered 5 licenses but will designate later. How do I set them up later/ how will you recognize that they belong on this license?
Please let me know... so I can install at later time when required.
thank you
