I would urge the customer to replace the accounting software now, like it or not, and I'll tell you why. I have a customer who is an accountant. This customer has been in business for 20 years and insists that she needs every document she ever produced in the original software she produced it in. She is running versions of accounting software that just aren't compatible with anything past Windows XP. For a long time I did everything I could to accommodate her, trying to get her systems which would run both the newest stuff she has to get every year and the oldest stuff she has. I finally came to the conclusion that it's just not possible. For 10 years I have been screwing her over without realizing it.
The day finally came when the new software just doesn't work on the old XP machines, which I was still building for her even after you couldn't get XP any more. I was doing downgrade installs of XP on machines with a Windows 7 Pro license. Long story short, she just had to buy 8 new machines and a new server because her old stuff simply won't run the new software. She had to do that all at once because I tried to accommodate her and help her stay in the past. She chose to run old systems and new systems both. Madly full short film download.
What's more, the old server, which is only about 5 years old, is REALLY slow because I did a downgrade install of the server OS on that too so that she could continue using old software, so it only sees a fraction of the 32GB of RAM installed. Eventually the day will come when that software simply won't work. It is going on 10 years old now.
Software companies don't want to support software older than 3 years old, generally. If you don't upgrade your customer soon the day will come when the customer has no choice and YOU get to figure out how to make a 10+ year old data file work with a brand new accounting software, possibly in another company's program. It may involve a lot of expense paying the company who makes the accounting software to do it for you.
It may not be possible without getting pirated, older versions of the software to do incremental database upgrades. It may not be possible at all.
Take it from me, you are not doing your customer any favors by helping them to stay in the past. I just learned that the hard way. 'He's comfortable with 2007'.I was once comfortable with Windows 3, and with Windows 95, and with Office 97, and with dial up networking, and.(you get the point). At some point we have to move on because of support of software, and things becoming outdated. Add to that.it becomes prohibitively labor intensive, and exceedingly costly, to maintain old versions of software and operating systems.
You can probably get it running on Windows 7, setup via right click.run-as Admin, and having UAC disabled, and manually steering the install path to Program Files (x86), and downloading/installing the latest SR for it. But you will probably run into problems with how it interacts with other software, such as handling PDFs or other documents with it, and invoicing engine. XP mode or Virtual Box.may as well just bare metal install WinXP.cuz you have the same problems on the legacy OS be it virtualized or bare metal.
