Tabs3 System Requirements

Microsoft ended support for Windows XP on April 8, 2014. As a result, we have been receiving inquiries regarding which operating systems we support. We no longer test Tabs3 and PracticeMaster running under Window XP because this operating system is no longer supported by its manufacturer.  Although Version 17 of our software runs under Windows XP, we cannot support any operating system or hardware related issues on workstations running under this discontinued operating system.

We test and support Tabs3 and PracticeMaster software running under Windows 8, Windows 7, and Windows Vista. The software also runs under Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2008, and Windows Server 2003 (including Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2008 R2, and Windows Small Business Server 2011).  If your clients have computers running under Windows XP, we recommend you work with them to implement a plan to upgrade those operating systems and/or computers.

Additionally, we added “Internet access recommended” to our list of system requirements. You can find current system requirements in Knowledge Base article R11546 – Tabs3 and PracticeMaster Software System Requirements.

2014 Reseller Forum – Rock Solid for 35 Years!

Software Technology, Inc. has been around for 35 years, so it’s not surprising that we have such a loyal and dedicated reseller channel.  Many of you give of your time and talents by speaking at the Forum, sharing your knowledge and insight.  We appreciate all you do, and we couldn’t host such a terrific event without your participation.  The closeness of this group was never more apparent than it was this year.  We consider our channel to be a big family, and appreciate having you all as part of it.

Thanks to all our 2014 Forum speakers!
