Hello, good evening, I have a question. Does anyone still use the OCS platform? And if so, what procedure do I use to install it in Cpanel since it is no longer available in Softaculous and another question: If I have OJS, can I use it as a platform for conference management? And how many users can you register? I’m expecting around 800 people, thank you.
Hello @Mario_Julian_Mendez,
OCS is no longer developed and supported by PKP and it’s use is not recommended for security and usability reasons. I don’t know of it’s use through Cpanel and Softaculous, but if it used by these tools, you do so at your own risk. I have seen OJS used for conference proceedings: OJS vs OMP for a conference volume - #2 by rcgillis
But it doesn’t have the functionality that one might expect from a conference management platform - for that you might be better off searching for a platform that manages other aspect of conference managment.

Thank you very much for the information. @rcgillis I only have one question. Is there a limit on the number of users in both OJS and OMP?
There is no particular limit on the number of users that can be within both OJS and OMP. However, the actual capacity may depend on the hosting environment and server resources available for a given installation. So, if you have considerable activity from a lot of users on your system, you’d want to have a good amount of resources applied (e.g. storage space, RAM, CPU, etc.).

Hello, good afternoon, thank you very much for your response. I have other questions:
1.- Would there be a way to modify OJS so that it does not mention that it is a magazine? I would only use it for document review management or could I use OMP? I just want it not to mention that it is a magazine or something like that.
2.- And if I have 75 GB of SSD on my host, would it be enough to store 700 users and 3 documents for each user of 25 pages?
I look forward to your email.
