This version of PowerChute replaces PowerChute Business Edition and PowerChute Personal Edition for Windows OS only. Other OS will be supported over time.

The communication method for a Smart-UPS can be Serial or USB. For a Back-UPS, only USB communication is supported. 

The version is web-based—the same as the PowerChute Business Edition Agent since the release of Agent version 9.5. 

I have attached a copy of the release notes, the Introduction, the Brochure, and the Compatibility chart. 

NOTE: We are still processing the Users and Installation Guides. They should be available in a few days.

Hello BillP,

Not too long a ago, I purchased a Back-UPS BGM1500 and was using PCPE on my old PC. 

While moving everything to a new PC, I discovered the following in the PCSS user manual:

Then what software should be used with a BGM1500??

Thanks in advance,

Pete

PowerChute Serial Shutdown is compatible with the BGM1500. See Schneider Electric FAQ FA315835

Any news on a version for Linux? Since release all I have seen is a link for an RPM key, not a package, but nothing explaining how to use it or anything else about it.

What's about the Linux-Version?

I'm testing the Powerchute Serial Shutdown (WEB) software on WINDOWS, and i would like to know if i can install BOTH the Powerchute Personal Edition (Desktop) and the Powerchute Serial Shutdown (WEB) in the same computer.

The problem could be the SERVICES that are running to connect with (and monitor) the UPS, because both softwares have their own services. Are they compatible? Can they run without interference??

Thanks.
