Previous Release

Version 7.2.0 was released in April 2022 and has been succeeded by newer versions..

Important

Before installing this version, your Tricerat Licensing Server must be upgraded to v5.4.9.16 or later!  The upgrade to v5.4.9.16 Tricerat Licensing Server needs to be completed before upgrading any server session agent to avoid license checkout issues!  See this page for upgrade instructions: Upgrading Your License Server  The latest version is v5.4.9.16

Version 7 products are not compatible with version 6 activation codes. You will need new activation codes for version 7 products. Please contact your Salesperson for more information.

Important

Before installing this version, you must install the .Net 4.8 Runtime. Failure to do so will prevent license activation of a nodelocked license and all UI’s will fail to run due to its dependency on this version of .Net.

Product Refocus

New Features and Enhancements

  • ScrewDrivers Enterprise has a new printing feature: Hold and Release. This allows a print job to be held in our database until the User releases the job to the printer. If you would like to use this new feature, Support may need to update your Enterprise license.

  • ScrewDrivers properly supports Microsoft Azure cloud based SQL servers.

  • ScrewDrivers Notify Tray. This application runs at logon for all session agents and can receive important and informational messages from any ScrewDrivers component.

  • ScrewDrivers Direct now supports a delete printer on disconnect option.

  • ScrewDrivers Direct has improved Driver INF processing.

  • All installers now display a read me file when finished. Please read these notes carefully.

Improvements and Fixes

  • ScrewDrivers Administration fixed inconsistencies with assignment deletes.

  • ScrewDrivers Administration fixed a Windows Authentication bug.

  • ScrewDrivers Administration fixed a bug with Active Directory OU restriction feature.

  • ScrewDrivers Administration About window properly displays version and license information.

  • ScrewDrivers Administration splash screen is now non-modal and does not block all windows.

  • ScrewDrivers Administration fixed a bug that could hang Administration indefinitely when trying to contact a v6 Print Server. This is still not supported due to security changes in socket communications.

  • ScrewDrivers session agents will build printers and scanners even if no configuration object is defined. Default values will be used.

  • ScrewDrivers session agents fixed bugs regarding setting the default printer.

  • ScrewDrivers Cloud Connector UI eliminated unused ports. When installed, correct firewall rules are added.

  • ScrewDrivers Scanning Client now sends the correct list of scanners to the server.

  • ScrewDrivers Database Connection fixed a bug where the old database driver was specified and resulted in non-secure communications to the SQL database.

  • ScrewDrivers Print Job Reporting now reports accurate job size for all print jobs.

  • A permissions issue for the %ProgramData%\Tricerat folder has been fixed in all installers.

  • All installers now cleanup files that were previously left behind by Microsoft pre-requisite installers.

  • All installers now hide all SQL/User password information from any install generated log.

  • Updated Client and Server to support latest VMware PCoIP protocol.

  • Other minor updates, fixes and logging improvements.

Known Issues

  • We no longer support the deployment of a v6 style Simplify Console in the Pro/Enterprise installer.

  • If there is a single Profile defined for ScrewDrivers Scanning, it will not be applied properly until you click the pulldown for Profile: and click the single name - It then properly applies the profile settings. This will be addressed in a future version.

  • If the ScrewDrivers Administration active tab is Reporting, the report viewer will hide portions of the File->Options or Help->About windows due to a technical limitation. A workaround does exist, just change to another tab view before displaying the File->Options or Help->About window. We do not expect this to be fixed in a future version.
