What the setup program does

• Installs the workbook and its icon in Documents\ExcelGurus\EG TDR Reporter (you can choose another folder), Start menu shortcuts, a desktop shortcut you can untick, and its uninstaller and settings in your Windows user profile. No administrator rights.
• A box, ticked by default, adds that folder and its subfolders to Excel’s Trusted Locations, so the workbook normally opens with no macro warning. Untick it to leave Excel as it is.
• Setup itself sends nothing. The workbook shows the license agreement again the first time it opens; once you accept it there, it tells our server that a copy has been opened, then checks in normally once a day when it is opened. These messages carry the product, its version, whether a license is active and anonymous identifiers, including a random installation ID that Setup keeps in your Windows user profile. Two more messages are EG TDR Reporter’s own: one sends a GSA contract number and a month, the other the month a GSA upload file it made is for, when it was made and whether it is a correction, and neither sends anything else from your workbook. A licensed copy never sends a contract number. Apart from those two, the messages never carry anything from your spreadsheets (Privacy Policy).
• To remove it: Installed apps in Windows Settings (Apps & features on Windows 10 and early Windows 11), or Uninstall in the ExcelGurus Start menu folder. That takes the folder back out of Excel’s Trusted Locations and asks whether to delete EG TDR Reporter and your report data; No, the default, keeps them (uninstall steps).

Windows may show a SmartScreen notice the first time a new setup program runs. If it does, its details should name the publisher ExcelGurus LLC.

First thing to try

On the Home page click Set up a contract and add your GSA contract, its SINs and your price list. The first month you check with sales can be that contract’s free month; the workbook asks before it starts it.
