Support for older operating systems

For cyber security reasons we highly recommend running the latest version of the OPC Data Logger. We understand sometimes users have old operating systems they need to support. If you require support for Windows XP/Server 2003R2 the last version to support that is OPC Data Logger version 3.5.0.58. This version also requires .NET Framework 3.5. Please contact us if you need an older version.
