TTS Turbo Macros Subscription (SaaS)1 is simply an application that handles the subscription plan for the TTS Turbo Macros Excel Add-in.

Using the Get it now button button, you’ll be able to select the plan that’s best suited to your needs. A 1-month trial is available for you to ensure you’re happy with the macros add-in.

After selecting your plan, and setting up your payment method, you can use the Configure SaaS account button button to activate your subscription. This button will be available in multiple areas including, after purchasing, through an email notification, within the Microsoft 365 Admin Center – using the ‘Setup Account’ button near the top of the page.

After activating your subscription, and accessing the Microsoft 365 Admin Center2, you can assign your license(s) to your user(s). Finally, the licensed accounts can install the TTS Turbo Macros Excel Add-in3 and enjoy everything we offer, with more features to be added throughout the year.

1 SaaS stands for Software as a Service, a broad name that defines applications and services available from providers with subscriptions available for the services provided.

2 Microsoft Admin Center – Any one user with an organizational account, both admin and non-admin, users can purchase the SaaS application and assign licenses. The assign licenses and install add-ins experience can be slightly different in the Microsoft 365 Admin center for admins and non-admins.

3 The TTS Turbo Macros add-in can be installed at any point but note that the add-in will check for a valid user license each time on start up, even during the ‘Free Trial’ period of a SaaS subscription. Microsoft 365 Admins and Group Orders are encouraged to use the “Integrated Apps” feature of the Admin Center to centrally deploy TTS Turbo.
