Keep in mind as new versions and updates of operating systems (e.g Windows 10,11 and Mac OS) are release, Examplify may not be immediately compatible and could require a new version of Examplify. As new versions of OS are released we recommend revisiting the system requirements listed at the top of this Examsoft portal homepage page for any messages concerning compatibility with new operating systems before applying updates. For best practice use compatible versions you have tested previously with a mock exam and test updates with a mock exam if available. If you use an older operating system that is reaching end of support consider updating prior to the retire date.
