Operating Systems

Pending De-Support for Windows Server 2012

Windows Server 2012 reached Microsoft’s stated End of Support on October 10, 2023. aPriori 2023 R1 SP3 will be the last release of aPriori that is tested with Windows Server 2012.

While it is expected that aPriori will continue to run properly on Windows Server 2012, aPriori will no longer test on this operating system version and reserves the right to decline to investigate or address issues which are apparent only in this version.
