  • Is it possible to run a correct validation (we work in a GxP environment) with localized clients, configured with the above mentioned workaround? Yes for the interim this must be performed manually, However, it wil be addressed in Empower 3 Feature Release 1.

    Is there any time line for running Windows 7, 32 Bit under Empower 3? There is no plan at present to support Win 7 32 bit.
