IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT APPLE M1 SYSTEMS We are working to ensure that Suitcase Fusion and its auto-activation plug-ins work seamlessly on Apple M1 systems. For now, we recommend that you should not install Suitcase Fusion on Apple M1 systems. Macintosh n macOS™ 10.14, 10.15, and macOS 11 n Safari® 12 or later, or the current release of Microsoft Edge, Firefox®, or Chrome™ (for viewing Help) Windows n Windows® 10 n Microsoft® .NET Framework version 4.5.1 or later (installed automatically if not already present) n The current release of Microsoft Edge, Firefox, or Chrome (for viewing Help) NOTES n Some features require an Internet connection. n Suitcase Fusion requires a 64-bit operating system. n Suitcase Fusion no longer supports macOS 10.13 High Sierra. n Suitcase Fusion does not include auto-activation XTensions for QuarkXPress. What’s new View release notes for Suitcase Fusion at https://www.extensis.com/support/suitcase-fusion-21/release- notes/. Version 21.3 n We have added an auto-activation plug-in for Adobe After Effects CC 2021. Version 21.2.3 n We added a warning when attempting to activate more than 100 fonts. We found it was too easy to accidentally activate an entire library instead of a set or a single font, and for large libraries this could tie up Suitcase Fusion. Suitcase Fusion Support: https://www.extensis.com/support/suitcase-fusion-21/ Suitcase Fusion Release Notes: https://www.extensis.com/support/suitcase-fusion-21/release-notes/ - 5 - Version 21.2 n Auto-activation plug-ins for Adobe Creative Cloud 2021 releases of Illustrator, InCopy, InDesign, and Photoshop. n Extensis Font Panel support for Adobe CC 2021 releases of Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop. n Support for macOS 11 Big Sur. IMPORTANT: With the release of Creative Cloud 2021, Adobe no longer supports Creative Cloud 2018 applications. Therefore, Suitcase Fusion 21.2 does not include plug-ins for CC 2018 applications. If your workflow relies on these unsupported applications, then you should not install or upgrade to Suitcase Fusion 21.2. CC 2018 plug-ins are included with Suitcase Fusion 21.1.1. Installers are available from the following links: n Mac (for macOS 10.13–10.15) n Windows (for Windows 7 & 10) Version 21.1 n In this release of Suitcase Fusion we introduce an optional split pane view for fonts. In addition to the preview-only Fonts pane, you can switch to a split-pane view with Previews on the top and a columnar Font List on the bottom. This has changed how some features of Suitcase Fusion work; for details, see The Fonts pane on page 15. n We have added support for Dark Mode on macOS. Version 21.0.1 Suitcase Fusion no longer works directly with Monotype™ Mosaic or SkyFonts™. Version 21.0.0 Document Collecting For any tracked document, you can gather the document, the fonts that the document uses, and any linked documents and images together into a folder. This allows you to gather documents and resources for distribution, which is especially useful if the document’s application does not have its own “collect” feature. Other new features n Auto-activation plug-ins for Adobe Creative Cloud 2020 releases of After Effects, Illustrator, InCopy, InDesign, and Photoshop. n The Extensis Font Panel for Adobe CC 2020 releases of Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop. n Auto-activation plug-in and document tracking for Sketch. n Document tracking for Affinity Designer, Photo, and Publisher. n User Management: This allows you to assign and re-assign licenses for multiple Suitcase purchases.

If you want to take things more methodically, please see Overview on page 56. 1. Check the system requirements. You need to be running macOS 10.14 or later, or Windows 10. See System requirements on page 5 for details. 2. If you are upgrading from an earlier version of Suitcase Fusion, archive your Font Vault. This will allow you to revert easily to the older version. See Archive your Font Vault on page 64. 3. Disable or uninstall any other font manager. If you are running Suitcase Fusion 6 (version 17.x) or later, you can just stop the Type Core and continue. (We recommend that you uninstall an older version but it is not required.) If you are running Universal Type Server or a different font manager, uninstall it or disable it before running Suitcase Fusion. See Other font managers on page 61 for instructions. 4. Download the Suitcase Fusion installer. Get it from Suitcase Fusion Support. 5. Install the application. On Mac, open the disk image and drag the Suitcase Fusion icon into your Applications folder. On Windows, run the installer and follow the instructions. 6. Start Suitcase Fusion. If you are not upgrading an older version, when you start Suitcase Fusion for the first time it will present the setup wizard. Follow the on-screen instructions to finish the setup. See First-time launch on page 65 for details on the setup wizard. If you have upgraded from an older version of Suitcase Fusion, then Suitcase Fusion will back up your database and update your plug-ins. See After you upgrade on page 67 for details on upgrading.
