Declined Include Windows Version in Registration Key Email

[Joe Caverly]

When a new version of Take Command is released, I receive an email with the Order, Name, and Key for my purchase.

Maybe the version(s) of Windows that work with that release can be included in the email.

I 2nd @Joe Caverly thoughts above

Since Take Command only works with Windows 10 (& Server 2016 / 2019) I don't know how this would be useful.

 

[Joe Caverly]

I just went through my email, back to May of 2012, when I received the Registration Key for Take Command 14.

The email does not indicate what version(s) of Windows that Take Command 14 will work with.

What version(s) of Windows will Take Command 14 work with?

Joe

 

[rconn]

The versions of Windows that Microsoft supported when Take Command 14 was released.

Not sure of your point here - do you want me to reissue all of the registration emails back through 2012 listing compatible Windows versions?

 

[Charles G]

One easier solution would be just to add a column to Download Take Command, TCC, CMDEBUG, or TCC/LE Windows command prompt and Download previous versions of Take Command, 4NT, and 4DOS saying what windows versions the JP version is supported

For future reference, here is a timeline of TCMD releases.

Note that the dates for TCMD release are the dates that I received the registration key after purchase, not necessarily the release dates.

Corrections and additions to the list are welcome.

For a person who uses different Windows versions in Virtual Machines, this will make it easier to determine which version of Take Command to use with what Windows version.

Why was "TCMD 21.0" skipped? Ommited? Was there even one?

 

[Joe Caverly]

As I said;

Note that the dates for TCMD release are the dates that I received the registration key after purchase, not necessarily the release dates.

That's because I did not purchase version 21.

That's why I said;

Corrections and additions to the list are welcome.

I was curious why I had not purchased version 21, so I looked back into my journal.

I did purchase CMDebug Version 21 (September 15, 2017), and had decided to try, for this release, only CMDebug and TCC Runtime.

I decided purchasing Version 22, and forward, was a better solution.

I've added CMDebug 21 to my previous post. I'm pretty sure that TCMD was released at the same time, but I'll leave it at this for now.

4nt from 2.5 onwards work under windows 7. I still use 4nt/tcmd 8.01, since that gives me three separate prompts. tcmd 8.01 is mostly for starting other programs, and running my rexx calculator when cut and paste it.

I upgrade various windows proggies, and you should hardly want tcc to fall over for a windows upgrade or whatever.
