Panda Data Control requirements

Supported operating systems

On 30 June 2025, our Windows protection for these OS versions will become End of Life (EOL): Windows XP, Vista, Server 2003, and Server 2008 (Windows 2008 R2 will continue to be supported). After the EOL date, the product license will be automatically removed from all computers that run these OS versions, and you will not be able allocate licenses to affected computers. Computers without a license will have all protections disabled, lose access to Collective Intelligence, stop receiving signature file updates, and cease to run assigned tasks. See https://www.watchguard.com/wgrd-trust-center/end-of-life-policy.

Panda Data Control supports devices that run Microsoft Windows XP SP3 and higher and Windows Server 2003 SP1 and higher. It does not support Linux and macOS.
