The Challenge
Spreadsheetsoftware.com develops ExcelAnalyzer, an Excel add-in that helps finance, audit, and accounting teams quickly check spreadsheets for formula errors, inconsistencies, hardcoded values, external links, and other hidden risks.
ExcelAnalyzer is used in environments where spreadsheets are often business-critical. These files may support audits, financial reports, valuations, forecasts, investment models, or management decisions. A small formula error can therefore lead to wasted time, wrong conclusions, delayed reporting, or unnecessary audit issues.
As the product became more widely used, spreadsheetsoftware.com wanted to move away from one-off license and manual renewals. The goal was to create a more predictable annual subscription model, while keeping license management simple for both customers and internal administration.
The Solution
With Devolens, spreadsheetsoftware.com can:
- Issue and manage thousands of ExcelAnalyzer licenses across different customers and territories.
- Automatically check license validity, subscription periods, and renewals.
- Support different customer groups, license types, company sizes, and pricing models.
- Give larger customers a professional way to manage users, installations, and licenses.
- Keep ExcelAnalyzer controlled, current, and available for users who rely on it in daily finance and audit work.
Behind the scenes, Devolens handles large volumes of license checks and validation requests. This helps spreadsheetsoftware.com manage subscriptions reliably, without creating extra friction for end users working in Excel.
The Result
Devolens helped spreadsheetsoftware.com turn ExcelAnalyzer into a more scalable and predictable subscription business.
Instead of relying on one-off sales and manual license administration, spreadsheetsoftware.com can now manage renewals, license validation, and customer access in a structured way.
At the same time, ExcelAnalyzer users benefit from a properly licensed, up-to-date version of the software, helping them check important spreadsheets with more confidence.
