Operating Systems That Might Work, But Aren't Officially Supported

The software might install and operate as intended, but it isn't designed for or officially supports these systems:
  • Windows 8.1 - Core, Pro, and Enterprise editions
  • Windows 7 Service Pack 1
While the software may work on these systems, there's no guarantee it will continue to operate smoothly, and technical support isn't available. We strongly recommend upgrading to a supported operating system. If you're a bowling center using an unsupported system with your scoring system, please contact our support team for suggestions.
