Frequently asked questions
What if I only need specific parts of Analytic Solver?
No problem! Our free trial of Analytic Solver includes every feature, gives you full solutions for small models (including all our examples), and lets you see how your largest models will run but without full solution results. Then you can upgrade — and pay for — only the part you need. When you do, you keep access to every feature for small models and learning purposes!
Are there different trials of Analytic Solver Academy, Upgrade, Optimization, and Large-Scale?
NO — the Start Your Free 15-Day Trial buttons above take you to the same place. No matter where you start your trial, you'll have access to everything!
Does the free trial work with Excel for Windows? Excel for Mac? Excel for the Web?
YES (for all three) when you use Analytic Solver Cloud. Yes for Excel for Windows when you use Analytic Solver Desktop. Your free trial includes BOTH versions. Excel workbooks are fully compatible across both.
I'm a student with no budget — can I use the free trial for my course?
If you are a student taking a university course lasting more than 15 days, you are in the wrong place — our free trial will expire before your first exam! Click here for Analytic Solver for Education, and ask your instructor for a Course Code.
I'm a working professional — can I use this to learn new analytics skills?
You are in the right place! After your free trial you can choose a paid, but very low cost subscription to Analytic Solver Academy that lets you keep using every feature — optimization, simulation, and data science (with size limits) — beyond the free trial.
I'm not sure if I can do 'advanced analytics'. What kind of support do you offer?
You are definitely in the right place! We specialize in helping business analysts with only Excel skills learn how to build and solve optimization, simulation, and data science models. Browse our free Webinars, Excel examples, and Solver Academy courses — or try our AI Assistant during your free trial!
I really want someone to 'do it for me'. Can you help?
Yes — if you are a manager with a problem and a budget, click here for professional consultants familiar with our software tools.
