IMPORTANT: Examsoft and New OS Compatibility

Post by law-it »

An Important Message About Examplify

The Law IT Department and the Office of Records and Registration received communications from Examsoft about the upcoming release of new operating systems. They are requesting that all students hold off upgrading their current computers, or from purchasing new computers with the new operating systems pre-installed, until they have developed a compatible software. The release of both operating systems may fall close to midterms, and if your computer does not support Examplify, you will be without a means of taking your exams unless you have alternative computing options available to you.

The full message from Examsoft follows:

Dear UB School of Law,

Microsoft and Apple have each announced the release of new operating systems, which will be available in the near future; the timing of each is listed below. ExamSoft has not yet certified compatibility for any of these new operating systems with Examplify.

We are aiming to have an Examplify release available to certify these new operating systems for use with Examplify near the time of their launch.

Exam-takers should not update until we announce Examplify support for the new operating systems.

This includes beta versions that may be available to exam-takers prior to their official release dates.

Please communicate this information to your exam-takers to ensure they are able to continue testing without issue.

Windows Operating Systems (Expected early October)
  • WIndows 10 21h2
  • Windows 11
Apple Operating Systems
  • Apple has not yet announced a release date for macOS 12 Monterey, however, it is expected to be available sometime this Fall.
  • Apple will release iPadOS 15 on September 20, but please have exam-takers refrain from updating their device until we have announced compatibility with Examplify.
We will follow up with you in the coming weeks with additional updates. In the meantime, please reach out to your Client Success Manager with any questions.

Sincerely,
The ExamSoft Team

Thank you,
