Common questions

The four things people ask us right after installing.

The Grunt tab is not showing in PowerPoint

Quit PowerPoint completely and open it again — the add-in only loads at startup. If the tab is still missing, run the Grunt Troubleshooter that ships with the installer, or send us a note at support@grunt.pro.

Do I need a license key?

No. Your licence follows your account. Sign in with the email you used to request the trial, then click Activate in the email we send you.

Do I need admin rights to install?

On Windows, no — the installer sets Grunt up for your own user account. On macOS, the installer asks for your Mac login password.

I already have Grunt installed — can I install over it?

Yes. Install straight on top; do not uninstall the old version first. Grunt normally updates itself, so you rarely need to do this by hand.
