Vista and Windows 7 Compatibility

Vista and Windows 7 are compatible with 21st Century products running on Pervasive Version 10 or higher.

  • 21st Century products install with Pervasive Version 10, Pervasive's latest release at this writing, providing out-of-the-box Vista and Windows 7 compatibility.

    Under the covers, our installation processes the extensive Pervasive setup and configuring for you.

  • Because of the size of the Pervasive database installation, 21st Century Payroll products with Pervasive Version 10 are available only on CD.

    Existing customers who are ready to move to a Vista or Windows 7 computer, or who just want to upgrade their old Pervasive to the enhanced new version of Pervasive, please request the CD from your VAR or sales representative.

  • We are obliged to pass on to customers Pervasive's licensing fee for Pervasive Version 10, as an extra one-time expense.


Already have Pervasive Version 10 or higher on your computer?
21st Century users who already have Pervasive Version 10 or higher on their Vista or Windows 7 computers should be able to run 21st Century on their computers now.

If you already have Pervasive Version 10 or higher on your computer (because Pervasive was installed with some other application), and your Support subscription is up-to date, you can download the latest 21st Century upgrade from our web site and install it on your Vista or Windows 7 computer.

Don't plan to use Vista or Windows 7?
If you do not need or want to move to a computer with the Vista or Windows 7 Operating System at this time, and your Support subscription is up-to date, you can download the latest 21st Century upgrade from our web site and install it as usual on your XP or Windows 2000 computer.
