Transition Guide for P+ and Workspace Beta Testers

As we are getting closer to the official release of P+, I’d like to take this opportunity to go over some of the things that are important to our beta testers. Just to be clear: things described in this article are only relevant to our P+ and Workspace beta testers. This is fairly important, because we are planning to hit the reset button on our workspaces on December 9th 10:00pm, Eastern Standard Time.

What’s going to happen?

To get ready for the official release of P+ for iPad and Workspace service, we are planning to delete all our server-side data on Dec 9th 10:00pm, U.S. Eastern Standard Time. All our existing beta workspaces (including the inboxSync ones) as well as Pagico ID accounts will be erased.

To get ready for the data reset, please follow these steps:

  • Back up all your databases.
  • Be sure to upgrade your Pagico for desktop to the latest version (as of now, it is r1211/1212), as the last few revisions contained important bug fixes for workspace sync
  • Once updated, load into your database and let Pagico sync, to get all the updated data.
  • Then, switch to the “Workspaces” section, and click on the “Leave” button under each individual workspaces to, well, leave the workspaces.

Once you’re no longer associated with a workspace, all the data (projects, contact profiles) that are NOT authored (read: created) by you will be removed from your database. Things you started will still be stored in your database. (Note: Be sure to backup your databases before leaving workspaces, just in case anything weird happens).

So, what’s next?

The Workspace service is going to be officially launched on December 16th, 10am EST. Once released, you will be able to purchase individual workspaces via your Pagico ID account. Workspaces will be purchased using a subscription model with minimal monthly costs. Pricing and other details about the Workspace service launch will be discussed in a separate post.

For some of our long term beta testers that have been actively working with us, in return, we’d like thank you by gifting you a lifetime free workspace with 1Gb cloud storage. You will receive an email from us some time during this coming week regarding this offer. These free workspaces will be available to you starting from December 12th, to minimize the inconvenience caused by the data reset.

How about P+?

For P+ beta testers, please follow these steps:

  • Be sure to get all your data synchronized with our servers
  • Erase the app from your device
  • Purchase the app from the AppStore
The official P+ app comes with one lifetime free Workspace MINI that gives you 100Mb cloud storage. This should be sufficient for daily task management and sync moderate amount of data between your iPad and Pagico on your computer. This also allows the P+ app to be functional by itself without requiring a separate workspace purchase.

What about my current Pagico ID account?

Since we’ll also erase the data on our Pagico ID server, you’ll need to re-create your Pagico ID account after the data reset. Just a small recap: your Pagico ID account will gives you access to the following things:

  • Enable InboxSync (will based on a Workspace MINI and remain free) across your devices
  • Purchase, renew, and manage your existing workspaces
  • Access your inbox data via the web interface
All right! Hope this article makes some sense, and I’d like to apologize for the inconvenience caused by this data set, but this is what’s needed to ensure future stability (we’ve done tons of things to the server-side data and applications in the past few months. A fresh start is definitely going to be a healthy move).
Once again, I’d like to thank all our beta testers for all your inputs. We cannot be here without your contribution!

Cheers,

Ryo
