After registration

Two options after registration: desktop app or web

  1. Download the desktop app (Windows and MacOS versions available)
  2. Open the database on the web (up-to-date versions of Chrome, Edge, and Safari are all supported). 

➤ The web version is sufficient for most users.

Desktop app vs. Web version: 

The only difference between the two versions is that the desktop app will automatically also download an Excel plug-in that allows dynamically updated spreadsheets.  More info about the Excel plug-in below.

Requirements for the desktop app:

On the page linked below you can find:

  –  System requirements for the Workspace desktop apps
  –  A downloadable test to verify your computer's compatibility
  –  The downloads for both Windows and MacOS

Changed your mind?

If you start with the web version and later want to download the desktop app, you can!  Go to the page linked above.

The Excel plug-in

Warning:

The Excel plug-in only has full functionality on a PC or on a Mac that can also run on Windows. The Excel plug-in for a Mac without the Windows OS does NOT have full functionality. 

Time-series downloads:

You need the Excel plug-in for customized time-series data downloads. Time-series downloads are not practical using either the desktop apps or web access versions. 

There are some pre-defined time-series downloads available in the web version -- the Excel plug-in is for when you want something beyond these pre-defined downloads.

For help with problems that require technical support from LSEG, students and faculty must go through a librarian – only the librarian is allowed to contact LSEG for technical support (it's in our contract!).
