Trane Tracer Summit software compatible with Windows 7?

[HRCtech]

Looking to buy Tracer Summit software on sleezebay but not sure if its compatible. The CD date is printed 2006. Is it compatible with Windows 7? or was there a newer version to support it. Don't want to waste my money.

As far as I know it is not.

Tracer Summit V17 can run on W7, but only if you use the newest service packs with it and disable IPv6.

The software must be version 17 and you must have service pack 10 and service pack 10 update 1.

On a side note, I wouldn't chance buying the software from e-bay unless the seller could GUARANTEE me that it's NEVER been registered. If it's been registered in the past then you won't be able to use it unless Trane resets the registration and selling the software 3rd party is not something Trane thinks highly of so getting them to reset it might be impossible.

I messaged the seller today and he says it never registered with Trane and can make a disc with that service pack it needs. think I'm gonna go for it.

Actually you will need service pack 9 as well. that is the one where W7 support was introduced.

Well got it and setup okay included service pack-10. thanks for the help.

He only needs the latest service pack because it encompasses all of the earlier updates. Having to load 1-10 every time you set up a PC
would be a nightmare.
