Tech Tip: TinyTERM Version Support
Question: We're upgrading our office computers to Windows 7. What version of TinyTERM is required for that?
Answer: Windows 7 requires TinyTERM version 4.60 or higher. Older versions of TinyTERM are eligible for discount pricing on upgrades. Please contact our Sales department at sales@censoft.com or 800-877-3088 for more information on upgrading.
Please note: installing older unsupported products into new system
environments can create an unstable environment.
Question: I have an older version of TinyTERM that has been running with no problem for years. Can I keep using it?
Answer: Century Software no longer supports TinyTERM versions prior to 4.53 for any version of Windows. While the product may continue to work, no support is available outside our Knowledge Base.
Question: Where does TERM for Windows fit in this?
Answer: The last version of TERM for Windows was 7.2, from 1996. It was superseded by TinyTERM 3.3 in 1997. Century Software no longer supports TERM for Windows.
Question: What about non-Windows products?
Answer: All versions of TinyTERM for DOS, TERM for DOS, TERM for UNIX/Linux and TinyTERM ITX are still supported. However, DOS-based products must be running on a DOS PC to qualify for support, not in MS-DOS mode on Windows.
New entries are continually being added to the Knowledge Base. If your question isn't answered there, contact Technical Support at 801-268-3088 option 5. You may have information we need to add!
