 Before continuing please read information below:
+* 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.
 * For TCT '''1.X.XX''' versions auto-update feature doesn't work.
