Microsoft released a security update in June 2021 which will change the level of DCOM security required between OPC Classic clients and remote OPC servers. Exele OPC products can be patched to prevent connection failures.
Many area codes in the US will require dialing local numbers with the area code. This may break TopView voice calls for customers who have implemented 7-digit calling for local numbers.
Many email services and IT departments are ending support for email clients that use “basic authentication”. TopView customers affected by these changes will need to upgrade to a version of TopView that supports modern authentication.
