Software End-of-Life Notice

BiteFX V1.0 & V1.1 for Windows End-of-Life

Support ended for BiteFX V1.0 and V1.1 for Windows on September 30, 2011. For details, read the email that was sent to all BiteFX customers informing them of these product's end-of-life.

BiteFX V1.2 for Windows End-of-Life

On October 10, 2013 we announced that support for BiteFX V1.2 for Windows ended on December 31, 2013. For details read the email that was sent to all V1.2 (or earlier) customers informing them of this product's end-of-life.

BiteFX Support on Computers with Windows XP Operating System End-of Life

Microsoft ended its support of Windows XP on April 8, 2014, and no longer provides automatic updates that help protect personal information or fix software bugs. Because this poses potential BiteFX performance issues unrelated to our software, we have also ended support for BiteFX users still using the product on computers with the Windows XP operating system.

BiteFX Support on Computers with Windows 7 & 8.1 Operating System End-of Life

Microsoft has announced they are ending security support for Windows 7 on Jan. 14, 2020 and will only provide limited extended support for certain user groups for Windows 8.1 until Jan 10, 2023. Based on these circumstances, and the fact that we do all our development and testing using the Windows 10 operating system, we can only guarantee that BiteFX will perform to specifications on computers with Windows 10 installed. However, we believe BiteFX V5 works well on Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 at this time. If you experience a problem with BiteFX on a Windows 8.1 computer, and we can reproduce that problem on our Windows 10 computers, it’s possible we will find a fix that will work on your computer. If not, we may be unable to find a resolution for the problem and your only remedy will be to upgrade your operating system to Windows 10.
