Microsoft has already ended its mainstream support for Windows 7 and Server 2008 and will be discontinuing security updates from January 2020.  This does not affect the current version, however, we want to urge our clients to start investigating the options to upgrade their Operating Systems to more relevant versions of Windows.

Note: Microsoft has stopped their support for Windows XP and Server 2003 in 2014 and 2015 respectively.  Due to this, these Operating systems can’t install the .Netframework required for running Payroll and doesn’t have access to the new fonts used on our update. The Payroll program will no longer work on these operating systems.  For more details on what products we can support please click here.
