Plugin losing settings

Hi there,

the RC plugin loses its credentials, settings and even license information. We had that issue on several notebooks, Win 8.1, Office 2013. After restarting Outlook, all setting information are gone. I entered them eight to ten times, same result.

The users have admin rights. Is that behavior known and is there a workaround/solution for this issue?

Thank you.

Ingo

Plugin for Outlook 2013 having issues with adding new Leads/Cont

Hi,
I have installed the trial version to see if it is able to meet our needs.

the Plugin appears to install correctly and I can archive mail records. I cannot seem to add new records though. the log shows the following error:

2014-11-24 14:32:51.8513|FATAL|OSOP2013|Object reference not set to an instance of an object. trace: at OSOP2013.SCRMAPI.SugarRest.DeserializeModuleFields(String responseFromServer)

I have another user who tried it and connected first to a local suitecrm instance first then connected to the instance I am trying to connect to.

I have tried re-installing, disabling all other active Plugins, removing other email accounts but nothing seems to help.

Any other ideas that I might try?

thanks!

Problems installing

I am trying to install the RC of the Outlook client. I keep getting a 'the value of the property 'type' cannot be parsed' error message.

I have made sure I installed the prerequisites.
