    Exclamation DataFlex 2021 Beta 3 released - get it now!

    With great excitement, we announce the availability of the Beta 3 release of DataFlex 2021!

    The Beta 3 release is an important milestone that signifies the product is “feature complete” and ready for testing with your applications!

    To get started with DataFlex 2021:




    Beta 3 Release Notes

    Note: We elected to do a quick turnaround between Beta 2 and Beta 3 so that we could address an unintentional O/S-level incompatibility introduced in Beta 2. While this incompatibility only impacted older, unsupported, Windows environments (Windows 7, Windows Server 2012, etc.) we wanted to address the situation quickly. We changed to a different Windows API call during activation and that resolved the issue.
