This document outlines the requirements for Windows and Mac clients working with Stibo Systems Enterprise Platform (STEP). It is our recommendation that customers use the latest version of any given supported version. And, while we strive to give advance notice before desupporting any version, there are times we must work with third-party support / desupport dates when considering compatibility.
STEP Asset Push File Server
The Asset Push client can be installed on any server to make digital assets available as files. This is, for example, required if high-resolution images need to be made available in remote locations (i.e., offices with a limited bandwidth internet connection) for STEP Publisher (using Adobe® InDesign® Client).
