• We test the compatibility of our products with the driver and OS versions available at the time of the announcement of each release and focus on typical mid-range to high-end systems and basic coverage on low-end (min. requirements) systems. Additionally, we try to keep up with hardware, driver, and OS updates as soon as they are released.
• Nevertheless, please understand that we cannot guarantee support of new hardware and operating systems shipped after the announcement of each version.
• The technical specifications of Maxon products are constantly changing. Please use the most current version of the software to test its compatibility on your computer (especially if you have a more elaborate configuration).
