Introduction
you are running an old machine with a Windows legacy operating system like Windows XP
Issue/Question
Where do I get a Windows XP or other Windows legacy driver for my product from Digi?
Solution / Answer
for older products you might find Windows XP drivers on our support web site: https://www.digi.com/support
However Windows XP is out of maintenance from MicroSoft since years and Digi is not able to release any new signed drivers for it any more.
Using Windows XP is a security risk and we recommend to update to a newer OS versions.
Specifically 3rd generation (G3) AnywhereUSB Plus products are not supported under Windows XP and other legacy Windows version.
See the AnywhereUSB Manager + driver release notes about the supported operating systems (including Linux):
https://hub.digi.com/support/products/infrastructure-management/digi-anywhereusb-8-plus/?path=/support/asset-collection/anywhere-usb-plus-ez-os-specific-drivers/
There were obsolete 2nd generation (G2) AnywhereUSB products: AW-USB-2, AW-USB-5, AW-USB-5M, AW-USB-14 which were supported under Windows XP, you can get legacy support for these "as-is" on:
https://hub.digi.com/support/products/infrastructure-management/digi-anywhereusb/
Please be aware that the legacy G2 AnywhereUSB products are completely different from the G3 AnywhereUSB Plus products with newer hardware, newer firmware, new USB over SSL protocol, not compatible with each other. Which means G2 drivers will only work with G2 AnywhereUSB products and G3 driver/Manager will only work with G3 AnywhereUSB Plus products. Both drivers can be installed at the same time connect to G2 and G3 products from the same machine.
