Info

Please contact us to receive such a license key for the first time or as a prolongation of your existing deployment. In any case, you can always click the Cancel button and continue using PowerPoint without think-cell. To enter the license key later, click the Activate think-cell button in the think-cell toolbar or ribbon group. Automatic update think-cell regularly checks online to see if a new release is available, and if so, attempts to download the updated installation file. The automatic download is subject to the following conditions: – The check for a new release is performed once when PowerPoint is started with think-cell installed and enabled. – The automatic download runs quietly in the background and only occupies unused bandwidth. If the internet connection is interrupted or there is other network traffic, the download is paused until the network is again available. – While PowerPoint is in on-screen presentation mode, any automatic update activities are suppressed. A dialog box appears after the download is completed, indicating that a new release of think-cell is available Installation and update 12 for installation. You have the option to either immediately Install the update, or click Later to postpone the installation until the next start of PowerPoint. Security note: All files that are executed and installed by the automatic update are digitally signed by think-cell. The signature is checked for validity before any code is executed or installed. For additional security, the automatic download uses an SSL-encrypted connection. If you have further questions on security issues, please contact your local administrator. Trouble shooting For latest information on known issues and workarounds, please refer to our website at: http://www.think-cell.com/kb If you cannot find a solution in the knowledge base or this manual, feel free to contact our support team. Open the More menu in the think-cell tool bar and click on Request Support... Choose from the opening window whether you would like to attach certain slides to an email to think-cell’s support team. This is often useful to point up a problem. After confirming with OK your email application will open with an e-mail template.
Online quality assurance At think-cell we are committed to stability and robustness as key factors for the professional use of our software. If desired by your organization’s IT department, think-cell offers automatic error reporting. When an error condition arises while you are using think-cell, the software automatically generates a report that helps us to understand the problem and fix it in the next release. The error report only contains information about the internal state of our software. No user data is included in the error report. The software sends the error report encrypted. You might notice a short delay while an error report is being sent, but in most cases you can continue using think-cell as usual. If automatic error reporting is disabled for your organization’s version of think-cell, it can be temporarily enabled until the end of the current PowerPoint session by typing senderrorshome into any textbox within Power- Point. Our support staff may ask you to do so if some problem cannot be reproduced in our laboratory. A message box confirms that automatic error reporting is now enabled. For more information on think-cell’s automated error reporting, refer to section Online quality assurance on page 108. Temporarily disabling think-cell To quickly work around compatibility problems, or other issues arising from the use of think-cell, you have the option to temporarily disable think-cell without uninstalling the software. Installation and update 13 In the More menu in the think-cell toolbar in PowerPoint, there is an option called Deactivate think-cell. When you select this option, think-cell will be disabled immediately. With think-cell disabled, charts are presented as normal PowerPoint shapes. To re-enable think-cell, click the Activate think-cell button in the think-cell toolbar or ribbon group in PowerPoint. There is no need to close the PowerPoint application in order to switch between think-cell and plain PowerPoint. Before you alter smart-elements without think-cell, be aware of potential compatibility issues (chapter Exchanging files with PowerPoint on page 111). Note: You do not need to disable think-cell in order to make your presentations accessible to coworkers or clients who may not have think-cell installed. Simply send them the same file you are working with – if thinkcell is not installed, they will find a presentation with normal PowerPoint shapes.
