Resolution

Follow the steps below to correctly register the Daktronics Data Manager (DDM) on a Windows 7 computer
  1. Set Excel to Run as administrator by right-clicking the "EXCEL.exe" file located in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office##".
  2. From within Excel, press [Ctrl] + [O] and navigate to the "DDM.xls" file to open. The default location is in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Daktronics\DDM"; however, it is recommended that a backup copy first be saved elsewhere.
  3. Write down the Lock Code, and exit the DDM spreadsheet.
  4. Email the Lock Code to dakstats@daktronics.com with the subject line "DDM Lock Code", and a software license file will be emailed back upon proof of purchase.
  5. Save the software license file to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Daktronics\DDM".
  6. Reopen the DDM spreadsheet, and the license file will load automatically to unlock the application for use.
  7. Close out of Excel. It should now be possible to double-click a DDM spreadsheet to open it without having to run Excel as an administrator.
For more information about DDM, refer to Daktronics Data Manager Software Operation Manual (DD1376354).
