5.1. Where's RISKOptimizer 6.x/7.x?

Applies to: @RISK 6.x/7.x

I upgraded from 4.x or 5.x, and I don't see RISKOptimizer in the desktop icons or the Start menu group Palisade DecisionTools. Where did it go?

Beginning with 6.0, RISKOptimizer is integrated within @RISK. This allows for smoother operation. For instance, you no longer have two sets of simulation settings to contend with.

To launch RISKOptimizer from within @RISK:

In Excel 2007 and above, click the RISKOptimizer icon in the Tools group in the @RISK tab on the Excel ribbon.
In Excel 2003, click the Optimizer icon (seventh from the end of the long toolbar), or in the menu click @RISK » RISKOptimizer.

RISKOptimizer is included with @RISK Industrial Edition only. If you have @RISK Professional or Standard and you want to do optimizations, your Palisade sales manager will be happy to arrange the upgrade.
