2025.1 STEP Client Requirements

This document outlines the requirements for Windows and Mac clients working with Stibo Systems Enterprise Platform (STEP). It is our recommendation that customers use the latest version of any given supported version. And, while we strive to give advance notice before desupporting any version, there are times we must work with third-party support / desupport dates when considering compatibility.

5 The latest versions of the browsers shown are supported. Organizations should ensure that they are using the latest / most up-to-date browser version to have the best possible user experience. The term 'latest' is defined by the browser vendor. Check with browser vendors to determine the latest version available. Stibo Systems strives to test all new supported browser versions, and on very rare occasions, may need to provide special instructions if a browser update has backward compatibility issues.
