IMPORTANT: Installing the latest update after release is mandatory. All new hotfixes are provided on top of the latest hotfix.
Our installer allows you to upgrade to any version, but Support and Engineering recommend these upgrade paths.
Inventory architectural changes are changed from 6.x to 7.x to 8.x, which is why it's important that you don't upgrade directly from 6.x to 8.x.
When you upgrade from 6.x to 8.x, the enable or disable features don't retain the status in some situations.
To upgrade the ACC extension 6.0.0 or earlier than 6.2.0 to ePO, follow the steps below:
Upgrade ACC extension to 6.2.0.
Upgrade ePO to 5.3.0–5.3.3.
Upgrade the ACC extension from6.2.0 to 7.x.x, and then upgrade to 8.3.2.

Windows Server IoT 2022 is supported, but we haven't performed a full validation and testing with the IoT distribution. Customers can continue testing ACC on IoT devices at their discretion. We don't expect any major conflicts, given the support for and compatibility with Windows Server 2022.
Microsoft ended extended support for Windows Server 2003 SP2 on July 14, 2015. As of the end of 2015, the only product we support with Windows Server 2003 SP2 is Application and Change Control.
We haven’t officially tested all kernels of these operating systems. To view the full list of officially supported kernels, see the articles below:
EOL period—The time frame that runs from the day we announce product discontinuation, until the last date that we formally support the product. In general, after the EOL period is announced, no enhancements are made.
EOL date—The last day that the product is supported, according to the terms of our standard support offering.
