FAQs in english

QUESTION: What happen with the software SILcet after expiration of the 1 year license? Is the software automatically locked?

After 1 year the Excel macros will be locked but you can see all Excel sheets and cells as in any Excel file. If you have some Reports you can still print them out or save them as PDF by using the standard Excel options. Anyone can open an Excel file of SILcet to see the information, the reports and the results of the calculations.

At any time you can buy a new license to get back all the features of the tool.

The tool “SILcet” is based on Excel, therefore you can use all Excel features even after license expiration. The only exception are the Excel macros, it’s not possible to add macros. After license expiration the macros will not work.

QUESTION: In SILcet Pro there are 35 SIFs, does it mean that after reaching 35, I won’t be able to perform additional SIF?

On each Excel file there are a maximum of 35 SIFs, to make calculations, comparisons, reports, etc. We can save an unlimited number of Excel files, one per project, each one with 35 SIFs. All of them works with the same license.

In version 4.0.3 Pro Plus, and later, the maximum number of SIFs is 70 per file.

QUESTION: What are the benefits of a Multi-user license?

-For SILcet 4.0 Pro Plus there are multi-PC licences valid from 2 to 10 PCs.This means all users can open the Excel file and use all the advanced features of SILcet.

-Users that normally use 2 different PCs (desktop and laptop) can get 2 licenses at a much better price.
