Re: Current Versions



Nate,
  
1) Check with your sales guy to ensure that your license is compatible. I think an updated license is required for the High Fidelity Document Preview.

2) Libre Office is needed for High Fidelity Document Preview. See the URL I provided in the earlier email.

I am curious about some of your statements.

First, license file.
I have a dev/test zimbra install, that is very similar to my
production install.  I've done the 8.0.6->8.6.0 upgrade there without
a problem, and my license file worked.  I renewed my license in June.
 Do you think its possible that the newly renewed license is already
compatible with 8.6.0?

Second, libreoffice.  I did not install this, nor have any issues with
it being required, when I did my dev upgrade. Do you have some zimlet
added or something, that requires this?

Thanks!
