Excel Add-in URL problem

I am trying to use the Excel Add-in v14.03.28 (64bit), however I am receiving the error Unable to connect to URL provided.

I have tried disabling the Add-In and re-enabling it without any success. I have also tried different networks to eliminate possible firewall rules.

Any suggestions on getting this add-in to work?

Many Thanks

I recently had the same issue with our cloud instance, and Sugar support team correct the issue.
This was my issue: The error you are receiving is because those two plugins (Word/Excel) they don't allow for the IDM password method.
However, there is a workaround we can do which is to enable legacy PWs for your instance. What this will do is allow you to use your 'sugar' user/pass combination to access just those plugins. I suggest contacting Sugar Support to see if it is possible for your instance.

Same over here, it worked before, but now have the same issue as reported by Hugh. We have an on-premisse installation.

Bye now

Sugar Support should be able to do this for you as they did for me
