Once PointFire 2013 is installed on the target server you can deploy the feature by running the PFConfiguration tool: Start ->PointFire 2013 ->PFConfig Note: If you experience issues running the configuration tool from the shortcut, you can navigate to the PointFire directory and run PFConfig or one of the installation scripts directly.

Feb 13	PointFire 365 v1.2.0.0 Release Posted by Martin Laplante on 13 February 2017 03:01 PM
This is an update release for PointFire 365 for SharePoint Online, part of Office 365. This release corrects a number of issues in the previous release, and changes some functionality. Changed functionality includes: Removed little-used "Make List Multilingual" from site action menu. Use the ribbon icon instead. 30 day trial feature is now easier to use and uses "30-day-trial" as a license key by default Bug fixes include: Multilingual webpart settings ribbon icon dialog will repeat "Filter Query" if it is called several times on the same page. Display this webpart in..., the checkmark in the menu is sometimes not reliable. Workaround is no longer required. When app is activated twice on the same site with different sets of languages, some add-in dialogues could be localized in the wrong language Manage variation dID not work when linked file name contains apostrophe Page redirection was not working properly when page language is other than the user language for a common set of variations "Filter/Unfilter" in user menu sometimes did not change depending on user permissions PointFire makes SharePoint truly multilingual and lets your users collaborate in their language. Two different users going to the same page on the same site will each see it almost entirely in their language, both UI and content, without using Variations. And when used in combination with PointFire 2016, the hybrid cloud is here! To get your copy, go to http://community.icefire.ca/index.php?/Knowledgebase/List/Index/1/pointfire-installation-packages and log in or create an account. The fully-featured trial version can be downloaded for free and can be used for development and testing, with some pre-sale support. We thank everyone in many countries who provided feedback on the previous release for their valuable input. PointFire 365 v1.2 reproduces the most important functionality of PointFire 2016 in the cloud. Some additional features will be added in PointFire 365 v2.0, in a few weeks. Read more »
