Side by Side 5.2/6.0

Can 6.0 and 5.2 slaves run concurrently?

I tried installing the client and it gave me a “could not create service” error. I assume that is because the deadline service is already running.

Maybe give it a default name like “Deadline Launcher 6” to avoid conflicts?

Ok I tried stopping the existing service and it still gave me the error. I don’t really want to uninstall 5.2 unless I know that’s the problem. Is installation as a service supposed to work?

Only one version of Deadline can run at a time, and that includes the service, so it would probably cause more issues to allow both services to exist beside each other.

Another option is to simply not install Deadline 6 as a service, since both versions can be installed on the same machine at the same time.

Ok. Do you have a schedule for power management? That would be the big feature we would want to wait on before testing more thoroughly.

It should already be working. The UI to configure it is still in the Tools menu in the Monitor (while in super user mode), and you still need to run Pulse.

We still need to go over the Project Management code to make sure it’s collecting data from the database in an optimal manner, but the actual functionality should still be working.
