Examsoft System Requirements

With the release of Windows 8 today, I just wanted to remind everyone about Examsoft’s system requirements.  Please keep in mind that Windows 8 will not yet work with Examsoft.  If you were anticipating upgrading to the newest version of Windows, I would advise waiting until it is compatible.  I also wanted remind Apple users that OSX 10.5 is no longer supported.  You must have OSX 10.6 or newer.   Instructions for determining what version of Windows or OSX you have can be found below the system requirements.  If anyone has any questions, Please let our office know.
