VFS 2.0 is available for censhare 2020.3.3, 2020.2.5, 2020.1.9.
If you use one of these versions, follow our VFS compatibility guidelines if you use macOS computers.
VFS 2.0 on macOS
New censhare clients will ship with VFS 2.0 and will no longer be compatible with macOS computers that have VFS 1.5 (KEXT) installed. The clients can be started, but an error message will appear on startup that the VFS could not be created.
Some functionality is not supported in such a case:
- You cannot use any VFS related functionality, for example, drag and drop of files
- You cannot use any Adobe Indesign / InCopy functionality
VFS 1.1.5 on macOS
Older clients that ship with VFS 1.1.5 will no longer be compatible with macOS computers that have VFS 2.0 (KEXT) installed. The clients can be started, but an error message will appear on startup that the VFS could not be created.
Some functionality is not supported in such a case:
- You cannot use any VFS related functionality, for example drag and drop of files
- You cannot use any Adobe Indesign / InCopy functionality
Ensure to roll out new, compatible censhare Clients on all your client computers
Mixed VFS versions in macOS environment
In general, it is still possible to work in a mixed environment.
Ensure to install both new censhare Clients and VFS 2.0 on selected client computers where you want to use the new VFS.
You can keep some client computers on VFS 1.1.5 KEXT, but you must ensure that an older censhare client version is still used there, i.e. do not roll out the new installers on those computers.
New censhare Client and censhare Render Client installers
All of the above also applies to both censhare Client and censhare Render Client.
VFS on Windows
There is no new version of VFS on Microsoft Windows. Microsoft Windows computers are not affected.
