DOT E-Tickets via HaulHub
For those customers who need to send E-Tickets to their state DOT for certain jobs, Keystone uses a third-party service (HaulHub.) This service requires an increased level of data security that is only supported on modern versions of Windows. See the Keystone 5 section below for the minimum Windows versions supported.
Keystone 5 is coming--prepare now!
Keystone 5 incorporates significant changes related to security and functionality. Many of these changes leverage improvements in Windows that simply did not exist in older Windows versions. Additionally, there have been many improvements in the database engine (InterBase) that provide higher performance and reliability.
We strongly recommend upgrading your Windows servers and desktops and your InterBase database engine as soon as possible. These new versions of Windows and InterBase will work with your current version of Keystone.
Please make this a priority within your organization and feel free to contact support if you have any questions.
Windows Versions
Keystone 5 will require a minimum of one of the following Windows versions:
- (Server) Windows Server 2016 or higher
- (Desktop) Windows 11 or higher
If you are running any versions of Windows prior to the above (on server and desktops) please ask your IT provider to coordinate Windows upgrades with us as soon as possible so that you can continue to receive updates to your Keystone software. To ensure a smooth upgrade process, we strongly recommend installing the most current version of Windows on a new server or virtual machine. This will allow any upgrade issues to be worked out without impacting your daily operations.
There are other reasons to keep your Windows versions up-to-date:
- Microsoft provides regular security updates for current Windows versions to help protect your systems from ransomware/malware/virus attacks.
- Keystone increasingly interfaces with third party applications using REST/JSON protocols that require higher levels of security than older Windows versions are capable of.
- Keystone uses cloud-based services that also require these higher levels of security.
InterBase
In addition to upgrading older Windows versions, you may need to upgrade the database engine that Keystone requires to a newer version. Please contact support to determine whether this is necessary. If a database upgrade is required we will prepare a quote for you.
Keystone 5 will require the following minimum version of InterBase:
- InterBase 2017 with Update 3 (build 13.3.0.328)
Keystone 4.0
Our newest release of Keystone, version 4.0 is now available. A few of the many new features include:
- Windows 11 and Windows Server 2022 support
- Truck Routing on Dispatch Map (NOTE: This is in development and routes should not be sent to Keystone On-Delivery Tablets until further notice)
- Parent Jobs
- Cloud Backup
- Ability to restore user's custom grid settings
In order to ensure a smooth update to your existing system, here are a few items to help you prepare for this version.
Windows Versions
Because Keystone 4.0 is based on newer software technology, the requirements for Windows have been updated. Here are the supported versions of Windows for client/standalone PCs:
- Windows 8.1 (Microsoft support ends 1/10/2023)
- Windows 10 (Microsoft support ends 10/14/2025)
- Windows 11
- NOTE: Windows 10 S is NOT supported.
- NOTE: Windows for ARM is NOT supported.
Here are the supported versions of Windows for servers:
- Windows Server 2012 (Dispatch Map and Keystone News not supported)
- Windows Server 2012 R2 (Microsoft support ends 10/10/2023)
- Windows Server 2016
- Windows Server 2019
- Windows Server 2022
- NOTE: Windows Server Essentials (formerly Small Business Server) is NOT supported.
In ALL of the above cases, you should always have the latest updates installed (especially security updates.)
Please contact your IT vendor if you need assistance with updating Windows operating systems.
If any of your PCs are still running Windows 7, 8, 8.1, Windows Server 2008, 2012 or 2012-R2 contact your IT vendor as soon as possible to get these PCs upgraded to the latest Windows versions so that you will continue to receive security updates from Microsoft.
InterBase
The supported versions of InterBase are as follows:
- InterBase XE with Update 5 (build 10.0.5.595) [Windows 8.1 and Server 2012 only]
- InterBase XE3 with Update 4 Hotfix 4 (build 11.0.4.828) [Windows 8.1 and Server 2012 only]
- InterBase XE7 with Update 7 (build 12.0.7.384)
- InterBase 2017 with Update 3 (build 13.3.0.328)
Please contact us if you need assistance with updating your InterBase version.
