IBM® Statement for WinCollect supported versions
Supported software versions for IBM® WinCollect are the latest version (n) and the latest minus one (n-1). Therefore, the two newest versions of WinCollect are the versions that QRadar® support suggests with any support tickets (cases) that are opened. To prevent issues, it is important that you, as an administrator, keep WinCollect deployments updated when new versions are posted to IBM® Fix Central.
