"license information for this component. You do not have an appropriate license to use this functionality in the design environment".

I run Catia then I open the excel file

RE: problem importing points from Excel

ok my feeling is that your excel script is link with a previous catia level, and when the script try to get catia it won't find the open one and will try to start a new one and then you're missing license.

in the script ( go to EXCEL VBA with ALT + F11) find GetCATIA() the run it one line at a time : bring cursor inside and press F8

and check if windows find your running catia or if it's trying to create a new process...

Problem is in the line 144:
If CATIA Is Nothing Then

RE: problem importing points from Excel

Try to register Catia. This may help. Put On Error Resume Next before If CATIA Is Nothing Then
and see what's going on.
