Why can't PublishWave Run on a Server OS?
in Publishwave
Hi,
Why can't PW install on a server OS? I would like to get it off a desktop computer and integrate it within my highly managed server architecture. It is a pain maintaining it as a separate piece of hardware. PublishWave is an important part of our Adept infrastructure but is a weak link in the chain because of OS requirements.

Our original design of PW did support both workstation and server OS's. Then, Autodesk started prohibiting the installation of some of the CAD applications on server OS's. Since PW uses these CAD applications to produce the output, we could no longer support PW on an OS where the CAD application was not supported. Therefore, PW is only supported on OS's where the PW CAD applications are supported.

I agree that it would be great to have PW run as a service. It's annoying to have to log in to ensure that it is running after we do a reboot of the VM.
