Microsoft® Operating System Compatibility
Over the years, both On Center Software and Microsoft have developed and released new versions of their software. The grid below indicates which versions of On Center Software's products are compatible with various versions of Windows. For our policy on which versions of our Classic products that are supported and for how long, see CLS - Product End of Life (Sunset Plan).
On Center Software supports our software installed and operated only on versions of Windows currently under "Mainstream Support" with Microsoft. When a version of Windows is 'retired' by Microsoft, products that were limited to installation on that operating system (or earlier ones) only are no longer supported by On Center. Products limited to Windows versions that fall of "Extended Support" with Microsoft will no longer be distributed. If your version is no longer supported or is limited to a Windows operating system version that is no longer supported by Microsoft, please contact Customer Success at 866-627-6246 to discuss your options.
On Center products are designed and tested on US-English versions of Windows®. There may be minor display issues when installed on other regional versions of Windows.
"Server" operating systems should not be used as a Desktop operating systems - they are not designed for this function. The applications are not tested nor certified when using any Windows "Server" version as a desktop, personal computing operating system. Server versions are listed here for clients using Remote Desktop Services to 'publish' the products through virtual desktops. Server operating systems may display some parts of a program's interface a little different (menus, toolbars, etc.) which does not affect the overall usability or functionality of the program.
Struck-through versions are no longer supported by On Center Software/ConstructConnect and should not be used.

*On January 14, 2020, Microsoft ended support for Windows 7 and Server 2008, it is no longer a "Supported" operating system and On Center/ConstructConnect products limited to this version of Windows are no longer distributed or supported. See: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-7-end-of-life-support-information for more information about Microsoft's Windows 7 End of Life.
**Windows 8, Windows 8.1, and Windows Server 2012 are no longer under "Mainstream Support" with Microsoft, effective 1/9/2018 and are no longer tested on new versions.
***Rigorous testing has not been done on Server 2016 or 2019, these are server operating systems and are typically not used for desktop operating systems.
