APPLICABLE PRODUCTS

The USB-to-CAN compact V1.5 (2005) is about 17 years old and officially supports Windows 98/2000/XP only.
(The USB-to-CAN compact V1.5 is not supported under Windows 7/8/10, Linux, and virtual operating systems.)
Within Windows XP the USB-to-CAN compact V1.5 (2005) can be updated with the attached boot manager up to V1.6.
The USB-to-CAN compact V1.6 (2010) can be used also with Windows 7/8/10, Linux, and virtual OS.
We experienced that the USB-to-CAN compact V1.6 does not run
on some Windows 10 PCs (especially with the newest Windows Updates).

In such cases, we can only recommend the use of our USB-to-CAN V2,
because the USB-to-CAN compact V1.6 is obsolete since 2014.
