Switching from client to applet Launchpad

System

TeamSite 5.5.2
Solaris 8

We are currently using the client side Launchpad. What would effect would I have on these users if I switched, use_launchpad_applet=false to true?

Would the legacy Launchpad continue to work, and only new users would see the applet? Or would everyone start to see the applet? I see on page 65 of the admin guide that they will be prompted to upgrade, but does that assume that it's a later version on the same platform? what if it's now applet, when it had been client?

I know IWOV announced the obsolecense of the launchpad client. If you are running into difficulties with the applet we'd like to know why.

Historically the client had more issues than the applet, particularly with regard to it being a client-side install.

The 5.5.2 Admin guide
https://support.interwoven.com/library/manuals/teamsite/html/552/ts.552.admin.win/index.html

says: Currently, only the applet version is shipped with TeamSite. There is still an entry in the [iwcgi] section of iw.cfg that says to use the applet by default:

[iwcgi]

use_launchpad_applet=true

Do not edit this entry.

The 5.5.2 Release notes -
https://support.interwoven.com/library/manuals/teamsite/html/552/ts.552.rn.htm

say:
The LaunchPad application is no longer supported; however, it has been replaced by the LaunchPad applet.

It is my understanding that the iw.cfg entry is for the entire system.

I'm new to this installation. The old launchpad was one of the first things that I noticed, since I had forgotten how to use it. I want to move to the applet, but I don't want to affect the developers w/o warning them.

Everyone who then invokes LaunchPad would use
the applet instead of the application. Even those that
have the application locally installed.
