Planning Space 16.5 Update 21 Release Notes

RELEASE DATE: 19 May 2022

Updates are based on full installations of Planning Space. All changes in previous Updates are included in the latest Update.

Installation changes - Update 17 and later: Releases since Update 17 use a new installer platform based on the WiX Toolset. This provides a single, unified EXE file for installing any of: Planning Space (IPS) server; Planning Space client application; CX Suite client applications; LP Solver service. For the updated installation instructions see the Deployment Guide. When the WiX-based installer is used for the first time, a complete uninstall of the existing Planning Space installation (i.e., Update 16 or earlier), followed by a machine reboot, will be required. Subsequent Updates can be installed in-place.

Important - Upgrading to Planning Space 20.3: If you are planning to upgrade from Planning Space 16.5 to Planning Space 20.3, it is possible to upgrade your Planning Space databases from 16.5 Update 21 to Version 20.3 Update 1.
