On January 14, 2020, Microsoft ended support for their Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 operating systems. In the coming weeks, Data Recognition Corporation (DRC) will also discontinue support for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 operating systems on the DRC INSIGHT online testing platform. Please note, this will not impact Texas Reclassification testing. However, to avoid future test interruption, anyone using Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 should update their operating system at their earliest convenience. After December 1, 2020, customers continuing to use these systems will receive an alert stating their operating system will not be compatible for testing.
In keeping with Apple’s release cycle, macOS 10.13 High Sierra will no longer be receiving security updates as of November 2020. As a result, we are phasing out DRC INSIGHT support for all computers running macOS 10.13 High Sierra and will end support in January 2021.
To avoid test interruption, anyone using macOS 10.13 should update their operating system at their earliest convenience. Starting in January 2021, customers continuing to use these systems will receive an alert stating their operating system is not compatible for testing.
