4. Platforms, sign-in, and Company/Microsoft 365 Administrators

Supported Microsoft Excel platforms

  • Microsoft Excel for Windows (Microsoft 365) – Full functionality

  • Microsoft Excel for Mac (Microsoft 365) – Full functionality

  • Microsoft Excel for the web – Full functionality

  • Microsoft Excel for Windows (Office LTSC 2024 / LTSC 2021) – Full functionality

  • Microsoft Excel for Windows (Office 2019, perpetual) – Supported via Credential Login. Office 2019 update must be up to date.

The listed platforms offer full functionality unless otherwise stated. For technical details about authentication methods and organizational requirements, please refer to the Company/Microsoft 365 Administrators section below.

Sign in and licensing

  • Microsoft 365 / Office LTSC 2024 / Office LTSC 2021 If your organization allows it, you are signed in automatically via Microsoft SSO (Single Sign-On) when the task pane opens. SSO allows you to sign in automatically using your Microsoft work account. If you see a consent prompt, approve it (if your organization allows user consent), or ask your company administrator to grant tenant-wide consent for the add-in.

  • Single-user license policy The anubo Add-in license is a single-user license. If you log in again while logged in—for example, on a different device—the original login will be automatically logged out. This allows you to switch between devices and use the add-in, but it is not possible to use a single license on multiple devices simultaneously.

  • Office 2019 (perpetual) SSO is not available. The add-in uses Credential Login instead. Credential Login requires entering your ANUBO account email and password manually. Open the task pane (Microsoft Excel ribbon → anuboXBRL).

  • Enter the email and password you registered with.

  • After successful login, your license is validated exactly as it is with SSO on other platforms.

Your edition badge appears after sign-in: Reader or Analyzer.

Company/Microsoft 365 Administrators

This section provides additional detail for Scenario 2 – Company or Organization. If you are an individual user installing the add-in just for yourself, see Scenario 1 – Individual User and the Fast Track options in Chapter 3.

Some features—such as automatic SSO sign-in—depend on your Microsoft 365 tenant configuration. A Microsoft 365 tenant is your organization’s Microsoft cloud environment. Please review the following:

A) Microsoft 365 Admin Center (For organizational deployment)

  • Open Microsoft 365 Admin Center (https://admin.microsoft.com)

  • Go to Settings → Integrated Apps

  • Click Upload custom apps

  • Select app type Office Add-in

  • Provide the manifest URL: https://prod.azan82.anubo.com/app/v1/manifests/anubo-addin-stable.xml

  • Follow the prompts to complete the installation

Note: The manifest URL may be updated to newer versions (e.g., v2) in the future. Always use the latest stable version available. The user manual is constantly updated with the latest link here. Add-in users will be notified of updates via email.

B) App permissions & consent (Microsoft Entra ID / Azure AD)

  • Open Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) → Enterprise applications and locate anuboXBRL (or search by the Application (client) ID from the add-in manifest). Entra ID is Microsoft’s identity and access management service.

  • Open Permissions (or Permissions and consent).

  • Click Grant admin consent for the required scopes: User.Read, Files.Read.All, email, openid, profile, and offline_access.

  • Confirm the status shows Granted for [Organization].

  • If your organization disables user consent, admin consent is required before first use.

C) Policies that can block SSO

  • Integrated Apps / Office Add-ins must be allowed.

  • User consent policy determines whether end users can accept the consent prompt themselves.

  • Conditional Access (MFA / device rules) can block token issuance.

  • End users must be signed into Office with their Microsoft 365 work/school account.

D) Firewall configuration requirements

To ensure reliable connectivity, allow outbound HTTPS to these domains (no inbound rules needed):

  • https://azan92.anubo.eu – Main backend API server

  • https://prod.azan82.anubo.com – Production application server

  • https://anubo.com – Company website and support

  • https://appsforoffice.microsoft.com – Office.js and add-in platform resources (Microsoft)

Ports

  • HTTPS (443) required

  • HTTP (80) optional, only for non-sensitive fallback requests if used by your environment (HTTPS is recommended)

Proxy / content filtering

  • Ensure no proxy rule or content filter blocks the domains above.

  • Allow long-running HTTPS requests (data processing and downloads may be larger).

Firewall Rules

Your IT administrator should configure the firewall to:

  • Allow outbound HTTPS (443) traffic to the domains listed above

  • Allow outbound HTTP (80) traffic to the domains listed above

  • Ensure no proxy or content filtering blocks these domains

If SSO is not desired or cannot be enabled, users can always sign in via Credential Login (supported on all platforms including Office 2019).
