When deciding whether to upgrade, please consider:

• Ascendis Caller ID version 4 now requires Windows 10, Windows 8.1, or Windows 8. It should run on Windows 7, but Microsoft no longer supports this version of Windows and compatibility is not guaranteed. Users running older versions of Windows should not upgrade.
• Ascendis Caller ID version 4 uses about the same system resources as version 3, and may be faster in some cases.

• Ascendis Caller ID 4 will remove Ascendis Caller ID 3, if found, during install, after a confirmation. It will retain version 3 data and settings and offer to import them when first run. When importing from version 3, all calls, contacts, actions and locations will be retained.
• Ascendis Caller ID 4 can communicate with version 3 clients but we recommend upgrading all clients to version 4 as future compatibility is not guaranteed.
• Ascendis Caller ID 4 supports all phone hardware supported in previous versions, assuming proper drivers are available.
• Ascendis Caller ID 4 does not support any versions of ACT!.
• Ascendis Caller ID 4 does not support recent versions of Tivo software.

Our standard policy for upgrades is to provide them at no cost for customers who purchased up to one year before the release. The installer will inform you whether your existing activation code will work with the version being installed.
