ChemIT received the below informational email from MATLAB 11/21/2013, “because [we had] recently activated MATLAB on a platform that will be impacted by an upcoming support change, or [we] are the administrator or asset manager of a network license (Concurrent, Network Named User, TEH, TAH) for MathWorks products and [we] may be impacted.”

MathWorks periodically updates platform support in response to shifts in usage, and is planning the following platform changes:

New Platforms

• Windows 8.1:  Support begins with R2013a

• OS X 10.9 (Mavericks):  Support begins with R2013a

Dropped Platforms

• Windows XP and Windows Vista:  R2014b is likely to be the last release supporting Windows XP and Windows Vista.  Impacted users are advised to migrate to a newer release of Windows at this time.

• 32-bit Windows: MathWorks will stop producing new releases for 32-bit Windows in the next couple of years.  32-bit Windows users are advised to migrate to 64-bit Windows at this time.  This road map will be updated when more definitive sunset plans are made.

See the platform road map <http://www.mathworks.com/support/sysreq/roadmap.html> for the latest information on planned platform changes to MATLAB and Simulink products.
