  • Simplify Desktop folders now retain position and size settings for each user

  • Simplify Desktop Run As feature now processes command line arguments correctly

  • A change was implemented to reduce the chance that Devices and Printers shows printers as "stacked" when the hardware id's are the same

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.
