Supported Operating Systems
As a Microsoft Certified Partner, Planit
International operates fully in accordance with
Microsoft’s own policies concerning the support of
Microsoft operating systems.
The development that we have undertaken for Planit
Fusion Live has enabled the software to be awarded
Microsoft’s XP Logo compliancy certification. This
demonstrates our commitment to deliver quality
software.
The Microsoft XP Logo compliancy means that Planit
Fusion Live onwards, will only be supported on
certain operating systems.
In order to use Planit Fusion Live, you may find it
necessary to upgrade your operating systems prior to
installing Planit Fusion Live.
Unsupported Operating Systems
Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Media Center 2003 Edition
Planit International does not support the use of
Planit Fusion Live on any of these operating
systems.
Partly Supported Operating Systems
Windows 98 SE, Windows NT, Windows ME
“Legacy support” is provided for these operating
systems for Planit Fusion only. “Legacy support”
means that the Planit software should still run on
these operating systems. However, should any issues
be identified that are directly attributable to the
operating system, Planit International will not
provide a solution (in accordance with Microsoft’s
own practice) and will advise users to upgrade to a
more contemporary operating system.
Planit International does not support the use of
Planit Fusion Live on either of these operating
systems.
Supported Operating Systems
Windows 2000 Pro, Windows XP Home, Windows XP Pro, Windows Media Center 2005 Edition, Windows 2003 Server
Planit International supports the use of all
versions of its software on these operating systems.
What does this mean in real terms?
In order to use Planit Fusion Live, you must be
using a supported operating system and may need to
install a supported operating system.
Planit Fusion Live will NOT run on any of the older operating systems.

Supported Environments
Planit International Ltd are pleased to advise that we are now able to support the
Windows XP x64 Edition and Windows 2003 Server x64 Edition.
There are no plans to provide support for older versions of the Planit suite (i.e. Version 14.1.1 or older).
The latest version of the 64bit SafeNet dongle driver (7.2.2) is required for these operating systems.
You will also require a version of Planit Fusion from V14.1.2 onwards, and a
USB dongle.
It is possible to run the Planit suite (Version 14 – Fusion Live, onwards) on PCs with the
AMD Athlon™ 64 and Intel EH64 processors, using the standard Windows XP (Service Pack 2) Operating System.
Windows Vista Support for Planit Fusion
Microsoft has now released the latest version of their Operating System - ‘Windows Vista’.
There are six variants of the Windows Vista Operating System:
• Windows Vista Starter (emerging markets only)
• Windows Vista Home Basic
• Windows Vista Home Premium
• Windows Vista Business
• Windows Vista Enterprise
• Windows Vista Ultimate
Of these variants, it will not be at all possible to support the use of Planit Fusion on Windows Vista Starter, owing to the usage limitations of this variant of the operating system.
Windows Vista supports both x86 (32-bit) and x64 (64-bit) bit processor architectures, with the exception of Windows Vista Starter (32-bit only).
Planit Versions Supporting Windows Vista
The five compatible variants of Windows Vista will be supported only in Version 14 Service Pack 2 (specifically version 14.2.1.0) onwards.
At the time of writing, Version 14 Service Pack 2 has not yet been formally released, but will be available
within the next few months.
Planit Versions Not Supporting Windows Vista
We do not support the use of any variant of Windows Vista with version of Planit up to and including Version 14.1 (all releases).
