Medlin Software is designed only for use with desktop/laptop Windows operating systems.

Medlin Software is not designed or supported for use with any other operating system, such as Mac or Linux.

While you may still be able to install and use Medlin on versions of Windows no longer supported by Microsoft, we cannot recommend doing so.

Outdated versions of Windows cannot be considered secure enough to use with payroll data, nor accounting data.

We do not test our software with outdated versions of Windows.

If you are preparing payroll for others, or in any other way, deal with the IRS (other than as a single employer) you may be subject to IRS data security regulations which require all software to be kept current (including Windows), drive encryption, etc.
