PwrSmart 3.0 (10.3.0.494) - Released December 11, 2009
What’s New:	Simplified PwrSmart™ 3.0 Console displays your managed computers, power schemes and energy savings calculator all in one view. You can select from several EPA-recommended power schemes or create and edit your own custom power schemes right in the Console.
	Centralized Control means power management settings are in the hands of IT administrators, enabling centralized, enterprise-wide, network-based PC power management.
	PwrGroups™ (leveraging patented Smart Update technology) make it simple for IT administrators to dynamically target and group computers with similar power management requirements ¾ standardizing and fine-tuning PC power management across an organization. PwrGroups can be based on Active Directory group membership, PC location, IP address range, hardware configuration, operating system language, time zone and many other parameters. Laptop and Desktop PwrGroups are included in the Console.
	Customizable Power Schemes allow IT administrators to control and enforce multiple power profiles on the same system to accommodate different power settings depending on the time of day ¾ any computer, any setting, any time.
	Power management events can be scheduled to wake up, shut-down, hibernate or standby PCs after a pre-set period of inactivity or on a schedule. Alternate Settings option lets IT administrators configure settings that differ from a scheme’s default settings for use during a specific time period each day. Stay-awake period allows IT administrators to override power management actions in order to patch, update, scan, or back up PCs on a predetermined schedule. Stay-awake period can also be used to give users a block of time when they can remotely access their workstations before the PCs enter their scheduled hibernation period. Software exclusions allow administrators to exempt PCs from scheduled power management events when specific applications are running to ensure that critical processes are not interrupted.
	Software exclusions allow administrators to exempt PCs from scheduled power management events when specific applications are running to ensure that critical processes are not interrupted.
	Dynamic energy savings calculator displays instant analysis of energy saved on the managed computers based on multiple criteria. The calculator also allows administrators to compare energy savings over different time spans or different groups of computers and to project energy savings on an annual basis. Multiple currencies are supported in the calculator.

Version 1.0.2 – Release Date: May 10, 2005
What’s New:	The client installation program for Policy Commander version 1.0.1 inadvertently timed out causing the client to prematurely expire in early May, 2005. Although any clients installed prior to May, 2005 continued to work, the disabling function in version 1.0.1 prevented users from installing new clients.
	The client installation program in version 1.0.2 no longer expires.

Version 1.01 - Release Date: April 26, 2005
What’s New:	Policy Commander version 1.0 displayed an enforcement status that did not always match the compliance status displayed for a given policy. For example, upon enforcing a policy, the console might display "error.” This was because Policy Commander's first check of the policy after enforcing it still found it out of compliance. This has been fixed.
	Policy Commander's "dismiss" and "enforce" links have been improved and now work correctly in the Firefox browser.
