“xxxx isn’t commonly downloaded…” is a warning that might pop up when you try to download the software you just bought. This page describes how to bypass the block.
…isn’t commonly downloaded
Windows SmartScreen is an anti-malware component included with several Microsoft products. In Edge, Microsoft’s web browser, it pops up a warning if a file you’ve started downloading is not commonly seen and, since we sell into a niche market, our software products can sometimes fall into this category.
It is usually easy to bypass this deterrent. The description below is for Microsoft Edge, but you may also see these warnings on Google Chrome, and the workaround is similar. It applies to all of our downloads, but the images here are for iccexcel.exe, the installation file for CC-Excel.

Finally, the download will start. When it has finished, you will find the file in your Downloads folder. Run the file to start the installation process.

Windows SmartScreen performs an important function, protecting you from downloading viruses, malware, spyware and general digital nastiness. You should always be aware of the source of files before you download them.
