Palisade maintenance plans are designed to cover you when new software versions are released, or if you require help operating the software or resolving errors. Software updates are often released to keep current with changes in Windows, or in Excel or other host applications. Updates may also include bug fixes or minor product enhancements. If you have a Mac, you can try running the Palisade software in Windows under Bootcamp, Parallels, and VMWare, but if they don’t work for you then neither our help desk nor Palisade can provide any assistance. The software works with Windows XP, Vista, and Windows 7, both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. DecisionTools Suite 8 Industrial Trial Version. The complete risk and decision analysis toolkit for Microsoft Excel. Includes a full complement of analytical software tools working together to help you make better decisions. StatTools covers commonly used statistical procedures, and offers the capability to add new, custom analyses to Microsoft Excel. The accuracy of Excel’s built-in statistics calculations has often been questioned, so StatTools doesn’t use them. All StatTools functions are true Excel functions, and behave exactly as native Excel functions do. DecisionTools Suite 8.0 Industrial Trial Version. The complete risk and decision analysis toolkit for Microsoft Excel. Includes a full complement of analytical software tools working together to help you make better decisions.
