Point Requirements – Additional System Information

Important. Calyx Software does not directly support third-party products, including Microsoft .NET Framework, Internet Information Services (IIS), SQL Server, SQL Server Express, or any other applications mentioned in this information.

• Point® is designed for use with standard computing systems (laptop and desktop computers). While it is possible to install Point on a tablet or convertible device (Surface, Chrome Book, and others), full functionality is not guaranteed. Therefore, Calyx® does not support Point when installed on these types of devices.
• Point is not supported on Apple MacIntosh computers.
• Point supports only desktop applications in Microsoft Office 2016.
• Point does not support Office 365 cloud apps.
• Point does not support multi-functional printers. Calyx provides only limited customer support with problems that occur when they are used with Point.
• For sites that use Microsoft Outlook, Point supports only 32-bit Microsoft Outlook, 64-bit Microsoft Outlook is not supported in Point.
• Although Point does not run on Microsoft Windows 2000 operating systems, a machine with Microsoft Windows 2000 can host your file server.

• Novell networks

Important Information When Updating Point

Point contains several fields that can cause data discrepancies if your organization shares files between versions. Data from fields in earlier versions transitions to new fields the first time existing files are opened in an updated version. Problems can occur when a user with an earlier Point version opens a file after the data was modified in a later version.

For example, if a 9.4 user modifies and saves a loan file and later opens the loan file after a 9.0 user has modified the file, the calculations in several screens will not match.

To avoid confusion, every Point user in your organization should update to the latest version as soon as possible when one is released.
