Thanks C.D. and Laurie.  Somehow I knew it couldn't be that easy.

Looking at J.D's question I wonder if there's a pre-install indicator for
likely success on Windows systems.

 

No. but that would be a great idea. 

 

  If you see different color profiles for each monitor under the control
panel for display properties, Screen Resolution, Advanced Settings, Color
Management (at least by Win7 64 bit navigation).  If the factory profiles
are loaded and show as separate profiles for each monitor, would that be a
sign of likely success for separate calibration?

 

No, that would indicate separate ICC profiles for each, but would not
indicate separate calibration LUTs. To test that, you would change the
profile for one screen to something different, that showed a flash from the
LUTs loading. If the other display also flashes, then that would indicate a
''shared" calibration LUT. If not, that should indicate separate LUTs. We
might have a Support FAQ on this, but the original poster had not yet
contacted support...

 

 My limited sample of 2 successful machines followed this pattern.  The
DataColor profiles moved into the config slots that held the factory ones.
These were both Lenovo ThinkPad T series machines running Win7 64 bit.

 

Most systems work, these days. Its not a huge issue, but its only fair to
warn people that there can be problems.
