Getting ready to install

Before you can download and install XLGL, you must create an online account. You will receive an activation link by email. Click that link to activate your account. 

Login to your account page then click Downloads. Finally, click the download button for XLGL. Once the file is ready, click on it to execute the installation program. 

Make sure to review the requirement section of the XLGL page before installing. Also make sure to close all Microsoft Excel and Sage 50 windows prior to installation. 

Installation

Execute the installation program, then accept the user license agreement and click Next all the way to complete the installation. Close the installation wizard when done. 

Open Microsoft Excel to find the XLGL ribbon. If you do not see it or if the buttons on the ribbon are unresponsive, please see the Troubleshooting XLGL installation video. 

Activation

The first time you install XLGL, you will need to activate it, either as a 30-day trial or using a serial number you purchased. Click Activate on the XLGL menu. If you have a serial number enter it and click Validate. If installing on a terminal server, make sure to indicate the number of licenses to activate on the server. 

If you are looking to try out XLGL, click the 30-day Trial button and enter your credentials. These are the same as those you used to create your account on the Logicim website. 

You can access the activation window at any time using the "About XLGL" button on the ribbon and then clicking on Activate.
