Overview
This document provides an overview of the new features and enhancements in PrintShop Mail
Connect 2018.1, as well as some important installation information.
Installing PrintShop Mail Connect 2018.1
l PrintShop Mail Connect is released as a 64 Bit version only.
l Full details on installing and licensing PrintShop Mail Connect can be found in the online
help, which can be accessed from the software and the installer.
l Note that PrintShop Mail Connect comes with a 30 day trial license by default.
Upgrading from PrintShop Mail Connect 1.7
It is highly recommended that you update the Objectif Lune Update Client before upgrading
PrintShop Mail Connect from version 1.7 to version 2018.1.
If you do not update the Update Client, an unexpected error might occur whilst updating
Connect. This error does not prevent the successful upgrade of Connect to 2018.1, even
though it appears as if it might have. To avoid potential confusion, we recommend that you first
update the Objectif Lune Update Client before attempting to upgrade Connect from version
1.7 to version 2018.1.
The Update Client will show that there is an update available for itself. Simply click on the
download button in the dialog to install the new version of the Update Client. Note that it is no
problem in running the update while the Client itself is still open. It will automatically update
itself.
