Known Issues
When the Screwdrivers Client .MSI installer is run twice on the same machine, the user is not notified that the second attempt failed because the product is already installed
When Simplify Printing PDF printers are assigned to a user that also has ScrewDrivers client printers, the ScrewDrivers printers may be added using the PDF port. A possible work-around includes eliminating the PDF printer assignment for the user.
When installing Tricerat products on a native German operating systems, installers fail with various errors. This is also a suspected issue for native French, Spanish and Japanese operating systems but has not been verified.
Deleting the last Simplify Scanning server scan profile can result in a scanning Data Source crash for subsequent scans. As a workaround, disable server scan profiles when no profiles are defined.
When using silent install command line parameters for server installers and specifying a nodelocked style license (LICENSE_MODE=LicenseActivate), incorrect data is written into the registry. A workaround exists that requires editing the registry and changing the data after running the installer. If you need instructions for the workaround, please Contact Tricerat Support.
