FileWave Server on Windows - EOL
FileWave Server for Windows reached end of life with FileWave 14. FileWave Server packages are provided for Linux and macOS, while Windows remains supported for FileWave Central, Boosters, and Clients where those components are listed on Downloads.
If you still have a historical FileWave Server on Windows, plan a migration to a supported Linux or macOS server. Windows Server builds were supported through FileWave 13.3 and are not available for FileWave 14 or later.
