Overview
This article lists the operating systems that Code42 supports and the anticipated date when support will end.
Considerations
-
Code42 supports Code42 apps running on computers whose operating systems are supported by their vendors. Code42 does not support its software on computers running an operating system that is no longer supported by its vendor, including operating systems past the end of vendor support receiving patches through an extended security update program.
- Code42 app versions that are technically compatible may no longer be supported. For details about currently supported Code42 app versions, see the Code42 cloud version policy.
- Code42 regularly sends out email communications about changes in operating system support. For more information, see our supported operating systems announcements.
