Flexibility Not Supported on Server 2019? 1

[dgillz]

WTH?

Release notes for Macola ES 9.8.400:
Screens with Flexibility modifications are not supported when run on a Windows Server 2019 machine

Does anyone have a clue as to why this would not be supported? What does Server 2019 do that is so different? Server 2016 has End of Life set at Jan 22, 2022. So is our choice going to be a) Upgrade to a supported server OS and lose Flexibility or b) Keep Flexibility and stay on an unsupported server OS?

Isn't this only a problem when you run the Macola client on the server?

"You confirmed that users run Macola from local installs and not from the server so your modifications will continue to work.
