Thoroughbred® Version 8.7.1 End of Activation Support
In keeping our products current and viable with new Hardware and Operating Systems please find this notice of the End of Activation Support for Thoroughbred Version 8.7.1 products.
We trust your Thoroughbred Software products have served you well over the years. As new computer technology emerges we re-engineer and update our products to keep up and be compatible with current industry requirements. Thoroughbred continues to provide you with the ability to select the hardware and operating system platform of your choice.
Moving forward, Version 8.7.1 products are being retired from Activation Support as of
November 30, 2018.
You can use your older version as long as you would like, however you will need to purchase current product should your system need a replacement.
Please note: There is a risk of using older versions with new operating systems. These configurations are not tested or supported, and if there is a problem the remedy is to upgrade to a supported version of your Thoroughbred product. There are operating system incompatibilities with pre 8.8.x Thoroughbred Versions running on newer operating systems including Windows 10, Server 2008 and 2012 and 2016, new Linux kernels, UNIX and 64-bit systems. Thoroughbred 8.8.x products will allow you to accomplish trouble free upgrades that support the current hardware and software products. The current Thoroughbred Version is 8.8.2. Many Thoroughbred users have taken advantage of our Software Maintenance program. It guarantees a 90% trade-in for upgrades to new Thoroughbred Versions, reduced Services costs and more. It is something you should consider to protect the investment you have in your software. To see more details about the Thoroughbred Software Maintenance Program please click here or contact your Thoroughbred Representative.
All Thoroughbred Products have a Version Support life cycle. The life cycle begins when a product is first released and ends 5 years from that date, the End of Support date. Activations can be done for an additional 2 years after the End of Support date. Knowing key dates in this support life cycle will help you make informed decisions about when to upgrade your software. Please see the Version Life Cycle chart below:
