No, the current version of MaxSea (both TZ and Classic) is NOT compatable with Windows 8. (Good question) MaxSea is working on a compatible version but it will most likey not be available until sometime in 2013.

Hi, Just checking in to see if there has been any news on this issue. I actually had MSTZ running on Win 8 after a upgrade from Win 7 but couldn't get SQL ( at least the MS version ) to run on a clean install, Win 8 requires SQL with sp1 but the prerequisite version that comes with MSTZ won't install, at least for me.
I am not sure if MaxSea Classic will ever see a version for Windows 8, but they are working on a newer version of MaxSea TZ. It might require an upgrade price. There is no set release date or upgrade pricing, but an official announcement will be posted on the Furuno web site and the MaxSea web site when it is available.

Nice news for the new upgrade and compatibility with Windows 8. Now i have a very good Windows 7 laptop with MaxSea TZ Explorer and it works great. However i would like to buy a new additional laptop and it will be Windows 8. (one being the backup of the other if at sea one laptop cease to work). Since MaxSea support to simulaneous licences and it is said that new code are required, will the scenario of having two computers (one W7 and the other W8) is functionnal ?
