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 on the Analytic Solver Upgrade, Professional, and Comprehensive?

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 version. Yes for Excel for Windows when you use Analytic Solver Desktop version. Your free trial includes BOTH versions. Excel workbooks containing optimization, simulation, and data science models are fully compatible across both versions.

I'm a student, with no budget - can I use this free trial in my university 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 not a student - can I use this to learn new analytics skills?

You are in the right place! After your free trial of Analytic Solver, 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 this '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, and do 'advanced analytics' on their own! Just browse this site for our free Webinars, free Excel examples, and Solver Academy courses. Or just try our AI Assistant during your free trial!

I really want someone to 'do it for me'. Can you help with that?

Yes - if you are a manager with a problem and a budget, Click here for professional consultants familiar with our software tools.
