2022.1

You can keep everything you have
The first thing to know is that you can keep your current PlanetPress Suite Workflow 7
configuration and your PlanetPress Suite Design documents. When upgrading to PlanetPress
Connect, they will remain functional.
Please note that PlanetPress Suite Workflow 7 and PlanetPress Workflow 8 cannot run at the
same time. See "Information about PlanetPress Workflow" on page65 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.
PlanetPress Connect installation considerations
The PlanetPress Suite could run on a computer with a minimum of only 1GB of RAM available.
The PlanetPress Connect Server with PlanetPress Workflow 2022.1, by default, requires 8GB
of RAM, but if you intend on using the new PlanetPress Connect Designer on the same
computer, you should consider having at least 16GB of RAM available. See "System
requirements" on page29.
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
2022.1 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 (see "Performance considerations" on
page26).
What do I gain by upgrading to PlanetPress Connect?
When upgrading to PlanetPress Connect, PlanetPress Watch users receive key features of
PlanetPress Office such as the following:
l Ability to input data from PDF
l Ability to print your PlanetPress Suite documents on any Windows printer (no need for
printer licenses)
l Ability to create standard PDF output from your PlanetPress Suite documents
