Introduction
This document outlines the steps to install the Disclosure Management Client. The client is an add-in that will be visible in the Microsoft Office products (i.e. Excel, Word, PowerPoint).
Unlike the application server, you can directly install the required Service Pack you need. Be aware: the client version needs to match the server, so do not have the server on DM 10.1 SP04 and access it with a DM 10.1 SP02 client.
To upgrade the client, first uninstall the current version and then proceed with the installation of the required SP level.
Installation
1. Download the installation file from SMP (http://service.sap.com)

5. Installation runs…
6. Installation completes successfully

This is a COM Add-in in Excel (adxloader.dll)
Note: after the installation, the add-in is also visible in other Office products – no additional installation is needed
For example, in MS PowerPoint
