I created a new Excel Services service application, because I wanted it to have its own application pool and a service account that I could choose.
(The reason I did this is because I'm finding errors in the logs:" There was an error in communicating with Excel Calculation Services exception: An error has occurred. [Session: User: xxxx]."
and
"ExcelService.PostProcessRequest: The server encountered a very serious error and will continue to function. Please log this as a bug. Exception was: System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'Microsoft.Office.Excel.Server.CalculationServer.ExcelServerApp'
threw an exception. ---> System.IO.FileLoadException: Loading this assembly would produce a different grant set from other instances. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131401) at Microsoft.Office.Server.Diagnostics.FirstChanceHandler.ExceptionFilter(Boolean

I'm wondering if I can delete the old Excel Services service application?
Also any tips about these errors would be appreciated.
thanks!
