Tick Data Suite technical support is only provided for installations on a Windows operating system that is actively supported by Microsoft. For an up to date list of operating systems and their end of life date, please see Microsoft Windows | endoflife.date.
The following operating systems are not supported:
- Windows 8
- Windows 7
- Windows XP x86
- Windows XP x64
- Windows Server 2003 x86
- Windows Server 2003 x64
- Windows Server 2008
- Windows Vista
- Any Windows OS released prior to 2001
- Any non-Windows OS, such as OS X or any other OS derived from Linux, BSD or UNIX
As a rule of the thumb, if Microsoft is not supporting your Windows version anymore, Tick Data Suite is not supported on it either.
The Tick Data Suite will not work with any Windows OS running on an ARM/ARM64 CPU or any other CPU that does not belong to the x86/x64 family, no matter if it is a bare metal installation or a virtual machine.
Windows versions that work with the Tick Data Suite but are not supported
Despite the lack of support, the Tick Data Suite works fine on the following Windows versions:
- Windows 8
- Windows 7
- Windows Server 2008
- Windows Vista
The Tick Data Suite has been tested on the above operating systems and found to be working, although it's important to note that these operating systems are not part of the rigorous testing undergone by each release. However, even though it may work, please be aware that should you choose to run it on any of the above operating systems, you are entirely on your own and must find your own solutions for any problems you may encounter.
Tick Data Suite versions 2.2.4 and earlier also work on Windows XP x86, Windows XP x64, Windows Server 2003 x86, Windows Server 2003 x64.
