Important Note About Upgrading to .NET 4.8
In preparation for upgrading to .NET 4.8 in the 7.31 release of Compete, the 7.30 release will attempt to upgrade the version of .NET on your computer to 4.8.
If the installation cannot upgrade your .NET version, Compete will still install correctly.
However, before the 7.31 release of Compete, you must upgrade .NET to 4.8. The installer for .NET 4.8 is located at https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-framework/thank-you/net48-web-installer.
If you need help with this, please contact Compete Software Support.
Important Note about End of Support for Microsoft® Windows 7
Microsoft officially ended support of Windows 7 on January 14, 2020, and no longer issues security patches.
As a reminder, unsupported software is at risk for security weaknesses and vulnerabilities. For your club to remain PCI compliant, Jonas Fitness recommends upgrading to one of the supported operating systems listed in the Compete System Requirements (available on the Customer Portal).
Jonas Fitness will try to assist with any problems that you may encounter if you use Windows 7; however, due to the lack of support from Microsoft, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to correct all issues.
For more information about upgrading, please contact your Jonas Fitness Account Manager.
