General Notes

Upgrading to Planning Space 20.3: See the Planning Space Deployment Guide (Version 20 Upgrade Paths) for the latest information about upgrade paths from version 16.5 to 20.3.

Advance notice for the PlanningSpace 32-bit applications: The 32-bit versions of the Dataflow and Portfolio applications will be discontinued in a future release of PlanningSpace 16.5.

Note for installation: if the PlanningSpace installer fails to complete when installing "in place" (i.e., when a previous version of PlanningSpace is still installed), it is important to completely uninstall the previous version and to reboot the server machine before using the installer again. This is because the Windows OS may have pending installations (i.e., they are deferred to the next reboot) that are interfering with the PlanningSpace installation.
