Installing SPC for Excel Version 6

SPC for Excel is distributed in a zip file for both PC and Mac. The same file works on both the PC and the
Mac. The zip file is downloaded when you select the link emailed to you after you purchased the
software. This link can only be used once and expires after that. Sign into your account after that to
download the software. The name of the zip file is “SPC_for_Excel_V6.zip.

Earlier versions of SPC for Excel will be uninstalled as add-ins when Version 6 is installed. If you want to
uninstall the earlier versions completely, please see the instructions below (To Uninstall Previous
Versions).

To install SPC for Excel, you must unzip the files and add the SPC for Excel program as an Excel add-in.
The instructions below show how to do this.
