Important Notes About Discontinued Operating System:
No software company can effectively support any software for an operating system that the vendor is no longer selling, providing patches, addressing security issues, documenting or supporting. As of June, 2006, Microsoft officially dropped complete support for the Windows 98, Windows ME, and Windows NT operating systems.
Because of the added capabilities and Vista operating system support, this program will not function as designed with Windows 98, Windows ME and Windows NT, nor can be installed. If you have a system using these operating systems, either purchase a separate computer with a newer operating system and network the computer to your scoring system network or upgrade the operating system to Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows 2008 Server, Windows 2003 Server or purchase a newer system with a supported operating system.

CDE Software interfaces with the largest number of automatic scoring systems available on the market. Even older scoring systems may be able to be interfaced by solutions offered by some our of partners.

Some of our scoring partners have either chosen to not be certified, have not yet begun the process or have let their certification lapse.
