Upgrading to the newest version of Firm Central Desktop Software ensures that you have the most optimal tools available. If you have received notice that your Desktop Software must be updated, and are in need of assistance, please contact Customer Technical Support for assistance at 1-888-287-8537.
We recommend that users install a supported version of Microsoft Office to ensure the best experience with Firm Central's Desktop Utility.
Firm Central Desktop works best in versions of Microsoft Office that are currently supported by Microsoft. As Microsoft updates and releases new installed desktop software, we ensure that Firm Central Desktop Utility software works with supported versions of Microsoft Office. In turn, as Microsoft stops supporting older versions of their software, Firm Central will no longer support those versions of Microsoft Office as we release updated versions of the Firm Central Desktop Utility software.
NOTE: This does not mean that Firm Central will no longer work on an older, unsupported version of Microsoft Office. It means that we will not develop new features for integration with these versions of Office, and updates and bug fixes are limited to releasing for supported versions of Microsoft Office.
Windows 10 users who are installing Firm Central desktop may see a Windows Defender Smart Screener message cautioning you to review the provider of the software before installing. Click through this warning to install the latest version of the software, as provided by Thomson Reuters.
