Do you know for certain from experience or just guessing..thanks!! And also I was about to add that this is for a Server/Client install as I had not clarified that. We have it installed on Windows 2008 server with SQL database and windows 7 clients but wanted to move forward with Windows 8 when we replace the clients. Thanks again for any input!

I know for certain.
Why do you want to install old software on a new OS?

Ok. We are using an MRP program with it and it cannot be upgraded so we are stuck with the old version.

Get another MRP system... what are you using?
Auto Simply is a popular MRP

Hi. We tried running ACCPAC in XP SP3 compatibility mode and it is working. Initially we tried Windows 7 compatibility and when that did not work we tried XP SP3. So far so good..but have not used it thoroughly.
