End of Windows 7 and 8 operation support.

Windows 7 will no longer be supported by Microsoft as of January 14, 2020. Windows 8 ended on January 12, 2016. Please check here for information on how to migrate your settings to another device, such as a Windows 10 PC.









End of Windows 32-bit version

Currently, 64-bit PCs have become the norm, and in some cases PC peripherals do not support 32-bit. By optimizing our software for a 64-bit OS we aim to provide an even better production environment that supports many peripherals, and is memory and speed worry-free.









Support for macOS / iOS / iPadOS

As for macOS / iOS / iPadOS, Apple releases a major update to its OS once a year. In order to take full advantage of the benefits of major OS upgrades, such as improved security, we will support four MacOS versions, including the latest version, as well as two iOS / iPadOS versions, also including the latest version.









Using an OS that is no longer guaranteed to work

You can continue to use the version you are already using with your current OS. Past versions of our PC software are still available for download, so please use the version that is appropriate for your OS.

Current versions of the iPad and iPhone versions will continue to run on the current OS, but you cannot download past versions from the Apple Store, so please consider updating your OS instead.

We will continue to accept support inquiries regardless of the version or OS you are using.









Thank you for your continued support and patronage.
