How do the trial and subscription work?
The manual preview starts a 30-calendar-day trial when you explicitly type START in its helper at first intended use. Signing in or downloading does not start it. No card is needed. The helper preserves existing trial data and stops if it cannot establish a fresh profile. Paid activation is not open yet. The plan is ₹799 plus 18% GST: ₹942.82 per month. Payment begins only when you approve subscription checkout; the trial does not silently create a paid subscription.
Which version of Excel do I need?
FormulaMapper is a desktop Excel add-in. The initial release is being verified for Windows desktop Excel. Mac-specific compatibility and its manual activation workflow require separate testing; Mac support is not yet claimed. It does not run in Excel Online, Google Sheets, Android or iPhone.
Is the formula explorer the actual Excel add-in?
The explorer on this page is an illustrative browser demo with fixed sample formulas. It does not upload or read workbooks. The downloadable add-in works inside desktop Excel.
Can I use it on two computers?
The subscription covers one person on up to two computers. Each computer needs its own activation. Device and subscription management are available in the signed-in FormulaMapper account once the release opens.
Does FormulaMapper certify my workbook is correct?
No. Formula maps, flags and explanations help you investigate a workbook. Review the results yourself, especially for complex formulas, unsupported patterns and external links. Keep a backup before using tools that modify workbook formatting or content.
What happens if I cancel?
You can cancel future subscription renewals from your account. Your workbooks remain yours. Subscription status and any remaining paid period are shown in the account. The new Windows release uses time-limited activation up to the confirmed paid period. An already issued offline key remains valid until its signed expiry; cancellation does not delete your files.
What data is sent to BeginThings?
Licensing uses your signed-in account, subscription and a computer identifier. Core workbook analysis runs in Excel. The browser demo processes its sample inputs locally. Workbook content is not required to purchase or activate the add-in. Read the privacy notice for account and payment data handling.
How can I check the downloaded trial ZIP?
For FormulaMapper-v0.21.0-Direct-Trial-r1.zip, compare the downloaded file’s SHA-256 with:
a2a897a7878719516e06a151b61d6f15793d059183da61328ad8da53e0db7c4b
This checks that the file matches this release. It does not replace your organization’s software-trust rules or a publisher signature.
Can I buy or download it right now?
You can sign in and download the version 0.21.0 manual Windows trial preview. It includes a separate setup helper; actual Windows execution of that helper remains unverified. Checkout is closed until paid licences can be issued and verified.
