Following the release of Unit4 Financials by Coda 2024Q4 to the Unit4 Saas Production environments over the weekend of 25th/26th January 2025 we have received reports from users of XL for Finance add in regarding connection / licence issues.
We believe this is related to the usage of older XL for Finance add in software. A change was made in 2022Q2 XL for Finance add in to add a newer security algorithm. The main software release 2024Q4 deployed this weekend has removed the support for the older algorithm completely.
If you receive a message “unable to allocate a license” as part of making XL for Finance connections, please check your XL for Finance release version and where appropriate update to the latest version. Please check the platform matrix to ensure your Microsoft Excel version is compatible with the latest U4FbC XL for Finance add-in.
Customers with XL add in 2022Q2 or later are not affected by this notice / change.
If you are affected or need support, please don’t hesitate to contact us directly – we’re here to help.
