This article covers compatibility of the FluentControl™ software with Windows® operation system.
Tecan application software for the Fluent liquid handling platform has system requirements for a specific Windows version. For recent releases, most Tecan application software is compatible with the Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC edition. This means that the software has only been validated and verified for the specific Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC version which is stated in the release notes and the compatibility list. Hence, Tecan can only guarantee full functionality and ongoing support if the appropriate Windows version is used!
What is Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC?
LTSC (= Long Term Service Channel) is a Windows edition which only receives quality updates (i.e. bug fixes and security patches) but no feature updates. The LTSC edition has a full support of 5-10 years for each edition. In contrast, Semi-Annual Channel (SAC) releases are supported for 18 months and receive feature updates regularly. Because the LTSC editions do not change features and functionalities over the long life of the release, it is preferably used by Tecan to validate and verify the application software.
