Hi,

My IT group wants to update the workstation on which I have been running Robot Studio 4.0 build 2461 using Windows XP for the last several years

They want to give me Windows 7. With RS 4 work on Windows 7? Do I need to spend money or do anything special to move the license?

thanks,  
Dave

Hi Dave,

RS4 do not support Win7. It still may work if you run in XP compatibilty mode but nothing we guarantee. If you want to move your license to a new XP machine, please contact our license support.
