Many business-critical functions are executed via Vendors.com daily, and it is important that Vendors.com is working properly to complete these tasks. The following list shows the current Microsoft products that are supported for Vendors.com, as well as the projected date that Microsoft’s support for that product will end. Ace will continue to test upgrades, enhancements and new releases of Vendors.com applications only on Microsoft-supported products.

Ace does not test upgrades, enhancements or new releases of Vendors.com applications on operating systems and products with retired support.

As Microsoft ceases to test new controls, versions of Internet Explorer, and product upgrades on their legacy platforms, it becomes impossible for Vendors.com Support to continue supporting these platforms effectively. It is important that you keep these dates in mind and update your systems accordingly. We appreciate your cooperation in helping Ace ensure that all systems are performing consistently and optimally.
