In the case of using the file with a Mac, when opening the document, you are asked whether or not you want to activate the macros. Just click on "Enable macros" and the document will be functional.
In the case of Windows, the way to enable macros depends on your version. We recommend that you save your file in a folder other than downloads before enabling macros.

2nd possibility:
The license needs internet access to be validated. You cannot therefore use the Excel file offline because in this case the license cannot be activated.
Most of the time this message appears because the macros are not correctly enabled. Please check the point "How to activate macros?"
There may also be an update for Excel or your operating system. We recommend that you make these updates which could solve the problem.

In the case of a new so-called "annual" version, you will have to buy back this new version. For example, if you purchased the 2023 version and the 2024 version is released, you will need to repurchase the new version. In the case of professionals who purchased with the annual price, conditions apply.

Here's how to renew your numbers while keeping track of your retirement journey:
Download the new version of Calculetraite (basic, advanced or professional) without overwriting your old completed file.
Fill in all the information in the input data tab according to your figures from the beginning of the year. It may take some time depending on whether you already know your numbers or if you have investments in several banks, for example. I recommend that you pay particular attention to the values indicated in the calculation assumption table (such as the expected returns) as well as the net income necessary for retirement which, according to your consumption, is supposed to increase from year to year following the inflation.
Copy your history (year 2019, 2020 and 2021…. depending on which year you started using CalculRetraite) from the “Results details” tab of your previous file and paste it into your new file.
CAUTION, you must:
Here you have your financial statement for the new year:
The "Actual versus planned" column: allows you to see the difference between the total capital that the file had calculated for you for the end of the previous year and your current figures (ideally at the beginning of the year).
"Real savings": which you must enter manually and which allows you to see if you and your spouse have saved as much during the year as expected.
