* TCT supports FTx platform devices - FTC921, FTC961, and FTC881 (starting 1.1.80 release).
* From TCT '''3.0.0''' onwards, the desktop application's underlying framework has been migrated from '''Electron.NET''' to the lightweight '''Photino.NET'''. This change is the primary reason for the major version increment. Installing TCT 3.0.0 or any subsequent version will not automatically remove previous TCT 2.0.X installations. To avoid potential conflicts and reclaim disk space, you must manually uninstall any TCT 2.0.X versions.
* From TCT 2.0.0 onwards, only FT platform devices are supported.
* From TCT '''2.0.0''' onwards, only FT platform devices are supported.
* For TCT '''1.X.XX''' versions auto-update feature doesn't work.

===Differences between Offline and Online Configuration===
===Differences between Offline and Online Configuration===


Offline configuration refers to creating a configuration without any device connected. Later you can load this configuration file created in offline mode into the device remotely (via [[FOTA WEB|'''FOTA WEB''']]) or when a device is connected to your PC. On the other hand, Online Configuration refers to creating a configuration with a device connected and you can directly save the changes into the device.
