SnapPlus 17.1 Beta (build 18145.1353) is available for download.

SnapPlus 17 Beta is installed as an entirely separate Windows program from any existing SnapPlusV2 or SnapPlusV2Alpha programs. You may run SnapPlus 2/14/15/16 and SnapPlus 17 Beta side-by-side. While you can use existing SnapPlus databases from older versions, it is highly recommended that you copy your farm database to C:\SnapPlus2Beta\MySnapPlusData for use with the Beta version and do a SnapShot as soon as it opens.

See the What’s New in 17 topic in the online help for details about the new version.

Computer Requirements

SnapPlus requires Microsoft Windows; Windows 7 is the earliest supported version for the Beta.  See Minimum System Requirements for details.

How to Install

New Icons!

Our graphic design team has created a new set of icons for SnapPlus and its installers; the stylized “S” replaces the old green tractor.

Installer	Program Icon

Until the release version is available and installed, Windows will still represent farm files (.snapDb) with the tractor.

What Is Installed

SnapPlus uses a standard Windows installer and will install .NET 4.6, the Microsoft SQL Server CLR Types (not the entire SQL Server product) and Microsoft ReportViewer if needed. This requires Windows admin privileges. A typical install should take just a few minutes. See our quick guide to installing for more details on installing SnapPlus. This guide was written for SnapPlus 16.3; your 17 install experience may look different, but should be functionally identical.
