Note
- As of October 10, 2023, Microsoft has officially discontinued support for Windows Server 2012 and 2012 R2. Micetro software may continue to function; however, its performance and reliability cannot be guaranteed, as the underlying operating system is no longer officially supported by Microsoft.
Note
Starting from version 10.2, support for 32-bit Linux Operating Systems will be discontinued due to the lack of support from common Linux distributions.
