Hi,
I just discovered this add-in, it looks great.
Three questions
1. The website and the shop seems a bit outdated, is a new version is scheduled to be released ?
2. As many of us, Excel is my main work tool and I have a few computers, some running macOS, is there any way to get one license for all my computers (2/3 in total)
3. Can the SpeedTool help with queries performance in PQ ?

Thanks

I don’t currently have a plan for a new version, updates to the Version 4 are free.
There are substantial discounts for multiple licenses.

 1 license allows for activations on 2 computers, 2 licenses allow for activations on 3 computers etc.
There is a license management portal that allows you to move licenses between computers.

 FastExcel V4 does not run under Mac OS, but Parallels works. And there is a separately licensable Mac version of FastExcel Manager Pro.

 SpeedTools does not directly help with PQ query performance but SpeedTools functions like MATCHES (Joins), MISSMATCHES (antijoins), UNPIVOT, COMPARE.LISTS, LISTDISTINCTS, SLICES, FILTER.IFS etc can be orders of magnitude faster than the equivalent operation in PQ (they are C++ multi-threaded functions).
This may or may not help depending on your query flow.
