Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Our office has a floating license for COMSOL 3.3. We are looking to upgrade our machines to Vista 64. Is are version of COMSOL compatible with Vista 64? Our subscription has expired so tech support can not help us and previous threads started on this topic by others do not seem to have been answered.

Thanks in advance,
Chris

Hi

Sorry, cannot tell, as I have upgraded already for several years ago, I'm not even sure 64bit CPU's existed at that time ?

I assume that most user have also more recent versions, that is probably why nobody has given any good answers so far.

I know there is always the fight between mangement and the end user about "is it worth to pay the mainetance", "why not "just wait 5-7 years and buy new?, anyhow you might even want another "tool" by then".

A regular fight I have too, but for the price class of COMSOL, wersus its use and quality, I find its worth it, and if you do not follow you have a large jump and learning process to envisage, that has also its cost, on your time and cash.

No easy way out I'm afraid

Good luck
Ivar

Hi Chris,
Per COMSOL's website (www.comsol.com/press/news/article/141/), support for Vista started at version 3.3a.
The current version supports Vista of course (www.comsol.com/products/requirements/windows/).
Best,
Jeff
