Known Issues

Known issues of OpenPlant Isometrics Manager CONNECT Edition Update 8.

This release of OpenPlant Isometrics Manager is delivered with CONNECT Licensing. V8i releases of AutoPLANT do not use CONNECT Licensing. Due to this discrepancy, if OpenPlant Isometrics Manager CONNECT Edition Update 4 is run with any version of AutoPLANT Modeler V8i, you will be charged for OpenPlant Isometrics Manager CONNECT Edition Update 4 on a quarterly term basis for all usage above the number of OPIM licenses you already own. For that reason we do not recommend you use these versions together.

The upcoming AutoPLANT CONNECT Edition release will be compatible with the CONNECT Licensing and will resolve this issue.
