25.11.6

Released on November 12, 2025

New Features

Licensing

• Features licenses are now enforced per user instead of per user/machine.

• When the application validates your licenses, entries listed on the Computers tab in CAM with your email address and a machine name are now consolidated into a single entry without a machine name, which is assigned a license for every feature you previously activated on any machine. Seats no longer is use after consolidation are immediately available to other users.

• To maintain backwards compatibility, activating a feature via an older version of PowerDesktop will still reduce your organization’s available seats regardless of the user’s other activations. As a result, you must upgrade all machines using PowerDesktop to version 25.11.6 in order to take advantage of this change.

iManage Work

CSV Import

• In addition to normal file rows, an import CSV can now include rows that specify paths to folders from which all files should be imported with the same metadata. When loaded in the import wizard, these folder rows can be optionally “expanded,” i.e., replaced with rows representing their file contents, and then imported as if they were in the original CSV.

• Default classes for documents and email can now be specified on the import wizard’s “Select Default Values” page.
