Windows XP supportSolved

I see that the latest version of TA drops support for XP. Does that mean that it will no longer continue to work on XP or simply that if there someone encounters a problem, you arent going to bother with tracking down the issue?

Both. It wont work and we no longer bend over backwards to make it work. This will increase our development speed, increase code quality, and increase security.

The fact is no one that is purchasing software is using Windows XP. And no one should be using Windows XP at all. The only people continuing to use it are on old embedded machines (think old CNCs) and pirates.

Just curious, how do you know this to be a factual statement?

When you say it wont work, what will happen?

Will it throw an error if someone tries to activate on XP or does it just fail silently?

No, your app will crash quite loudly.

No one on earth should be using Windows XP. It's vulnerable and any sensitive data stored on it should be assumed to be stolen or soon to be lost.

Does this statement of fact come from analyzing data based on activations? Or some other method? I see what you mean, just wondering what it is based on and how you came to this conclusion.

It's based on internal data.
