GOOD NEWS: PlanetPress Connect does not need any printer licenses to print from
PlanetPress Connect or PlanetPress Suite. It can also print PrintShop Mail 7 and PReS 6
documents if these programs are licensed.
You can keep everything you have
The first thing to know is that you can keep your current PlanetPress Workflow 7 configuration
and your PlanetPress Design documents. When upgrading to PlanetPress Connect, they will
remain functional.
Please note that PlanetPress Workflow 7 and PlanetPress Workflow 8 cannot run at the same
time. See Information about PlanetPress Workflow 8 for information about these limitations. The
only exception is the PlanetPress Suite Design tool that you can continue to use as it is not part
of PlanetPress Connect.
For customers upgrading to the free “Print only” version, if you wish you to continue your OL
Care engagement, the next year will be priced at the same price as your current price.
For customer upgrading to the full version of PlanetPress Connect, with or without new options,
the next year of OL Care will be priced at the value of the new software you upgraded to.
Before going into any further details, please read the following section carefully.
PlanetPress Connect installation considerations
PlanetPress Suite could run by default on a computer with a minimum of 1GB of RAM
available. The PlanetPress Connect Server with PlanetPress Workflow 8, by default, requires 8
GB of RAM but if you intend on using the new PlanetPress Connect Designer on the same
computer, you should consider having at least 12 GB of RAM available. See System
requirements.
Distributed installation or not
You can decide to install PlanetPress Connect modules all on the same computer or have each
module on a different computer. Reasons for this could be:
l There is insufficient memory in the computer currently running PlanetPress Workflow 8 to
also run PlanetPress Connect Server.
l You want to use a more powerful computer with more RAM and more cores to run the
Server to achieve maximum performance.
