Updating GIAnalyzer

Last updated 9 November 2026

New versions of GIAnalyzer bring new functions and fixes. They are included in your licence for as long as it runs.

Online version: automatic check

If you installed the online version, GIAnalyzer checks for a new version a few seconds after Excel starts. Your computer must be able to reach the internet.

When a new version is available, a message asks whether to install it now, and shows your version and the new one.

  1. Save your work.
  2. Click Install Now. Installation takes less than a minute.
  3. A message says GIAnalyzer was updated, and that the change takes effect after you restart Excel.
  4. Click Restart Now to close Excel, then open it again. Or click Later and keep working; the new version starts the next time you open Excel.

If you click Later at the first message, GIAnalyzer doesn't ask again about that version when Excel starts. The Install Update button on the ribbon stays, so you can install it whenever you choose.

The Updates buttons

The Updates group on the GIAnalyzer tab shows one button:

  • Check for updates. Checks now. If you have the latest version, a message says so and shows the version number. If a new version is available, GIAnalyzer offers to install it, as above.
  • Install Update. Shown instead when a new version is waiting. Click it to install.

If an update fails, a message says GIAnalyzer was not updated. Try again later. If it keeps failing, see Troubleshooting errors or email us.

Offline version

The offline version doesn't check for updates. To update it:

  1. Download the latest offline version from the Downloads page.
  2. Uninstall the version you have.
  3. Install the new one, as in Installing GIAnalyzer.
