Using Excel add-ins during an internship

I've been trying to refresh my knowledge and familiarity with Excel in preparation for my internship. I have been using Macabacus in Excel, and I'm pretty comfortable and fast with it.

Are analysts/interns allowed to download and use these kinds of add-ins in Excel on their work computers, or are we only allowed to use firm-issued software? Would appreciate if someone with experience could chime in.

Eum atque sed ipsam error rerum non ea. Vitae enim sunt placeat quod voluptas est. Incidunt totam fugit non blanditiis quia. Eius incidunt molestiae id.

Will update my computer soon and leave Incognito so I will disappear forever. How did I achieve Neanderthal by trolling? Some people are after me so need to close account for safety.
