Important Update for Trend 963 Users: Immediate Action Required
Upgrade to IQVISION Supervisor by December 31, 2024, to keep your system supported and avoid any expensive fixes.
Time to Upgrade to IQVISION Supervisor
Why Upgrade?
As we approach the end of 2024, users must transition to the IQVISION Supervisor as Trend 963 becomes obsolete. After December 31, 2024, your current system will no longer be supported, which could lead to costly repairs or disruptions.
What’s Changing and Why?
The end of Windows 10 is imminent, which will leave the Trend 963 operating system unsupported. With increasing demands for security, continuing with Trend 963 is no longer viable.
IQVISION offers a more advanced solution, with built-in BACnet functionality, reducing the need for extra integration hardware and lowering costs while minimising network vulnerabilities.
Now is the time to plan your budget and secure your place in the upgrade queue.
Plan Ahead
Look to upgrade to IQVISION ensuring that the buildings you manage or support are securely protected and future-proofed.
Saying Goodbye to Trend 963
Trend 963 has been outdated for three years, and the final support deadline is fast approaching.
It’s the perfect opportunity to modernise your Building Energy Management System (BEMS). As of today, Trend 963 relicensing is no longer available, and starting January 1, 2025, all technical support will be discontinued.
