-Launch TIBCO Spotfire Analyst using administrator login. -Open Administrator Manager. (Tools->Administrator Manager). -Go to "Groups and License" tab select the "Everyone Group", click on "Edit". -Expand the "TIBCO Spotfire Enterprise Player" option, uncheck the check box corresponding to "Export to PowerPoint","Export to PDF","Export to Image", "Export Data". -Save the above changes.
Disabling the above license permission for that user group will disable the "Export" in the Web Player.
