Windows Server 2025 Support for Control Center 6.3.1

According to the compatibility page for Control Center 6.3, the application is compatible with Windows Server 2022. Windows Server 2025 compatibility is not listed. Windows Server 2025 was released November 2024.

I can't speak for all shops, but we are trying to complete the migration of our remaining Windows Server 2016 servers to either Windows Server 2022 or 2025. I learned that Connect Direct Windows 6.3 is listed as being compatible for Windows Server 2025. So, it makes sense to me that Control Center 6.3.1 should be certified as being compatible for Windows Server 2025 as well.

It makes sense from our standpoint to migrate to Windows Server 2025 if possible. This will provide longer longevity. Obviously, we'd still need to adhere to the life cycle for Control Center 6.3. We'd like to migrate our Control Center Test environment to Windows Server 2025.

How will this idea be used?

I believe certifying Control Center 6.3 as being compatible with Windows Server 2025 will help shops reduce the amount of time from migrating from one Windows Server version to another.
