Product FAQ
What is the lifecycle plan for Tactical Software redirectors?
Tactical Software released its current version 4.10 software in 2019. This version has no reported defects in function, performance or reliability.
Version 4.10 is the final release of the Tactical Software Serial/IP, COM/IP and DialOut/EZ redirectors. Licenses for these products include technical support on the following schedule for Windows on Intel-based platforms:
Windows Server 2022 until the Microsoft Mainstream End Date (Fixed Lifecycle Policy) 13 October 2026.
Windows 11 Home and Pro release 24H2 until the Microsoft End Date (Modern Lifecycle Policy) expected in Q4 2026.
The exceptional track record of version 4.10 reflects its software architecture as a driver using stable low-level APIs in the Microsoft Windows kernel. These APIs and the related functions of the Windows operating system have remained consistent since 2004.
Tactical Software licenses are permanent/perpetual and do not preclude unsupported use on future versions of Windows, at the user's discretion and risk.
