For PxPlus 2020 we are looking to eliminate some of the older Linux builds while we add new ones such as Redhat/Centos 8.

Please take a moment to indicate in this poll which of these legacy systems you still actively sell/install and that may require PxPlus 2020.
Indicate None of the above if you don't use any of these versions so we can get a idea of how many people actually voted.

Note that most of these are no longer supported by their respective manufacturer and on some there are limitations as to what we can both provide and support.

As always we strongly encourage clients to stay current both with PxPlus and your respective Operating Systems.

Do you have a clearer date as to when the new version will be released?

In general we target for early May each year. 

The actual date varies a bit based on the calendar as once we have the product ready we need to adjust the web site and do some background testing and setup. 

We will post an announcement to the forum when everything is ready.
