Frequently Asked Questions
Does REIA Express work on all Windows computers?
Yes, but you need to have Microsoft Excel 2000 or later installed on your computer. Other spreadsheet programs will not run our software.
Does REIA Express work on Macintosh computers?
We offer a separate Mac-specific release of REIA Express Edition - choose the Mac option when adding the product to your shopping cart. Requirements: The Macintosh releases of our products are compatible with OS X and will run only with Excel 2004. Excel 2008 does not support macro coding so will not run our software.
Are your programs easy to use?
RealData has created its worksheets with user-friendliness in mind: all you need to do is enter your data and click a button to print reports. We color-code data entry cells, provide convenient cellnotes for on-screen contextual help, and include a comprehensive user guide. Additionally, free support technical support is provided by phone or email.
Does the program come with a User's Guide?
Yes, the software installs with a comprehensive user guide. Additionally, you can find answers to your questions in the realdata.com knowledgebase.
How often do you upgrade and what is the cost?
We upgrade our programs approximately every two years and make minor interim updates on a regular basis. See our upgrades and builds pages for more information.
How is RealData's software licensed?

Do you provide tech support?

Can I customize your programs?
Yes, but with some limitations. It is easy to add additional worksheets and create your own calculations which either feed back into our model or provide complimentary information and calculations. Please note that our reports print based on a defined structure — if you modify the content of our program, our print macros may not longer work correctly.
