Pica, Well, after a few times of uninstall and reinstall Power user, issue fixed..

Acarolinensis, this is a rare situation that happens on some computers. To solve this you simply need to make the editor a Trusted Publisher. Create a ticket and we will email you the procedure.

Just for fun, I also tried it on Office 2003 on XP: surprisingly, it appeared to install successfully, but also shows no sign of being present.
Incidentally, is anyone else finding the Captchas increasingly frustrating?

Frank G,why do you say there is no support? We have a FAQ, a Contact section and we answer within 24h to any message. If the add-in is not activate on your PowerPoint, go to File/Options/Add-ins, click the "Go" button at the bottom and then tick the box to activate the software.

Dan, in my PowerPoint, Options and Add-ins were in the Tools menu, but neither had any "Go" buttons or boxes to activate the software, I'm afraid.

BAW30s, what is your version of Office ?

Smonds, when you start Excel it should ask to install it, it will then appear in the options bar above the ribbon 'Power-user'

Smonds,


Try looking in the Excel Options under Add-ons. If it's there, you can activate Power-user.

Jimmy,
I can see it in Powerpoint, but not in Excel.

Matt,
Thanks for your advice.
Have checked the add-ins, not there. Have contacted Power user support team now. Hope they it get resolved.

DJ, Yes

Presentations are given for many reasons, not just to clients. They can be given to present financial information, at technical conferences, and anywhere someone is trying to tell a story. If it's not for you, then fine, but it doesn't mean it's a thing of the past just because it's not for you.

Nathan, you may be right about business, but there are an awful lot of people (like me) who use them to illustrate talks given to societies and other informal groups, as well as in education. I see two or three every week.

Nathan,
Wow. PowerPoint presentations are lies and 1 page reports are truth.

In my experience, that distinction is more a function of the author than of the medium.

Michael Henry, Obviously you have never worked at corporate level, it is, what it is, the presentations are old fashion, time and money wasters for the companies and the clients. With Internet, SEC, FTC, stock market, web sites and other info available to a prospective client, makes the presentation an insult when you try to enhance
the good and hide the bad. Many presentations have kill the deals do to obfuscation of the truth.

Robert, all of what you suggested above has been replaced with cloud presentation, with DVDs, hands on video and factual films and knowledge base interactive HTTPs web sites, were you can request, watch, contact or interact with the presenter at your own time and convenience. Everyone has some sort of Internet connection these days, just give them the HTTP address for the interactive presentation (audio, video, graphs, technical d-base and so on) and watch the amazement or reactions from the viewers.

Nathan: speaking from the world of advertising, I agree. Your comments are borne out by considerable experience. Clients with $multi-million spends would nowadays fall over first, then quit the room afterwards, doubled up with laughter at the very thought of spread-sheets and slides (!) when what they expect are VIP tickets to Grand Prix races, seats at Wimbledon or the chance to pose for piccies on a VLY (Very Large Yacht) with a Monaco mooring. But, but, but. . .

The nature of an audience always but always dictates the nature of a presentation, and in education (especially) but also elsewhere, Powerpoint is useful and appreciated, not least because something that looks impressive can actually be put together by folks who are really not that tech savvy.

There's likely to be a place for PowerPoint / Excel for quite a while yet, and if this software complements that then it, too, has a future.

Nathan, The vast majority of power point presentations are not about clients and companies, rather they are about the everyday activities in academics, both in research and teaching.

Nathan,
I'm in business, and they are used every day for many, many things including business plans, training, internal strategy, project status, etc. You may be in only one small niche that has abandoned it, but you certainly cannot speak for the vast majority of us that still use it.

Marie,
Yes they CAN be used to obfuscate, but the same is true for 1 page summaries. It actually easier to lie in a 1 page summary since there is no room for supporting data.

RCory, Yes it does work on both 32 and 64 bit systems

RCory,

Just tried, it works beautifully

Clairvaux, Yes that converts to $19.39 US dollars / month WOW.

Clairvaux, The targetted clients are businesses

Dan,

Not only businesses. The price I quoted is for a single user. Businesses get volume discounts.

However, this is too expensive for businesses as well. Companies are not cash cows to be milked endlessly. Business computers don't have one program on them. The have tens or hundreds installed. This is getting out of control.

8,30 € per month buys you the whole Microsoft Office 365 for 5 users. That's 7 major, complex, standalone programs in a single package.

Power User is just an add-on to 2 of them, Excel and Power Point.

Dougy, I had to wait for 15 seconds before the overlay appeared:

Dougy, it works with any version starting with 2007

Peter, No sorry there it is only for PC

Hi Hussein. :-)

Hi commentor2018. :-)

Send your question here: https://www.powerusersoftwares.com/contact-us

xilolee, would be better to have the answers posted here for all to see.

xilolee, this is a sensible question to ask on this page as the answer will affect all users, many of whom (such as myself) will be asking the same question. If the question is only sent to the support people then only commentor2018 will get the answer.
The question really ought to be addressed by the GOTD team as they may have a special arrangement with the software developer that is different from the standard product license.
As 1-year licenses seem to be becoming more frequent then GOTD should be able to anticipate the question and include specific details at the top of the page, along with the requirements etc.

commentor2018, It means you can use the specific features for 1 year, and then it's just disabled (but the slides you created with the plugin remain fully editable)

emperor, It is a sensible question to ask, but if the developer doesn't monitor this forum, it will fall on deaf ears. If commentator2018 got an answer back from the developer, it would be beneficial if they posted the response they received. GOTD is the same way, they only answer questions on here once in a blue moon..yes they should address this straight away. I myself have sent the question in, and will re-post the response. And as far as 1 yr license, as Clairvaux pointed out, we buy a screwdriver to keep, not rent an expensive 1.

DJ, The reason software makers can get away with subscription is because software can be programmed to expire ( or reduced functionalities etc.) after certain period of time. They can not do that with physical things.
Blame it on Adobe for starting the whole idea of subscription.

Paul, Yes I know the reason how and why..and it can be done with physical things..If I need a screwdriver to use, I will buy it (1 time payment, mine forever), not rent it when I need it (license/rental payment for a year)
You can blame whoever you wish for whatever you wish, but it does not have to continue .

Paul, Sadly, they can and do do that with physical things. Have you never heard of planned obsolescence?

commentor2018, I have send the developer this question through their websiteand and they replied me an email saying that after 1 year most of the software features will be disabled and will only have access to a limited number of features and content. However, all content created by the user during this year will remain usable and editable.
Hope that helps

TK, Actually if you look at my post #14, I posted the replies to both questions about license and Mac.

Looks like xilolee is a bot auto replying on behalf of powerusers, cos he ain't answering the question posed.

David, you need to confirm the email, not the key. Look at the screenshot on the page after submission

ken hanlan, you should confirm the email, not the key.

ken hanlan, It worked fine for me. I put my e-mail on the first line, e-mail again on the second line and copy/pasted the licence key on the third. I can only guess you might have an extra space somewhere. Have you received the confirmation e-mail from Dan @Power-user?

Jerry,
Yes i received the confirmation e-mail from Dan @Power-user. But when i clicked to install, it pops an error message that "A required privilege is not held by the client"

Saint Valentine, Maybe install the software with a right-click and choose "install as adminitrator"

ken hanlan, I did the same as Jerry.
And also I used for the registration other mail-address as the address for getting the code:

Ootje,
I tried that too, still the same error message

Saint Valentine , I don't know a solution for that.
Still strange. The fault can be in the GOTD-program, but also something with PowerPoint and/or Excel.
Here I just registered PowerPoint and in Excel was already registered.
All the update of Office installed?
