This one is thanks to Mr. matheus.kuhn

In some instances, it is observed that Microsoft Outlook disables the add-in. On reactivation, the add-in works without any issues.

Explanation:

Outlook imposes strict time limits for add-ins and this includes 1000 ms for loading, 500 ms for folder switch and for shutdown. If the add-in exceed this time limit, then Outlook disables the add-in

Resolution:

1) Go to File in Microsoft Outlook
2) Select Manage Add-ins/Slow and Disabled Add-ins



 

3) Select Always enable this add-in

 



 

4) You can now activate the add-in as in the section 1 – You installed the Add-in however the Ribbon is not visible for the SAP Outlook Add-in
