PowerChute Software

[Anonymous user]

My small company has an 8-10 yr-old "Smart-UPS 1400VA RM 2U" UPS. Still works (with recent batteries installed).
Just recently replaced our old NT4-Server with a Win2003-Server, and would like to use a more recent version of PowerChute Plus.
Currently using PowerChute Plus v5.2.1.
What PowerChute/version will work for Win2003 Std-Ed R2 ?

Thanks

PowerChute Plus 5.2.3 Will Work On Server 2003 But Before You Intall It You Need To Delete The Windows Temp Folder By Doing The Following

Start>Run
Type %userprofile%
Then right click on temp
Then delet

you'll need powerchute business edition.

Also Angela Even Though Powerchute BE Is Newer Than Powerchute Plus
Powerchute Plus is a ton more user friendly

that's fine if you want to use powerchute plus but we cannot offer as much support with it since it is several years old. There are also none of the features like email notification/authentication. it also does not support USB Smart UPS. it does work though so it depends what each environment requires.

Our needs are pretty simply, so PowerChute Plus v5.2.3 or PowerChute Business Edition v9.0.1, whichever works easiest.

Are you suggesting either version works well, such that it's just up to our preference?

If so, is it OK to install one; see if I like. Then install the other to see if we like it better.?
(That would be interesting)

Thanks!

APC suggests the latest software available, powerchute business edition agent 9.0.1.
