NOTICE:  EXAMVIEW END-OF-LIFE ANNOUNCEMENT

As of June 30, 2024, ExamView will officially reach its end of life.

Please be advised that after ExamView’s end-of-life date of June 30th, 2024, we will no longer be providing updates, security patches, or technical support for any version of ExamView. Our obligations to maintain or support ExamView will cease as of this date. Continued use of ExamView post end-of-life may expose you to increased security vulnerabilities, compatibility issues, and potentially reduced functionality. To avoid these risks and ensure uninterrupted service, we encourage migrating to EchoExam, which is designed to offer superior security, compatibility, and a range of advanced features that align with current technological standards.

Previous versions of the ExamView Assessment Suite software installed to an ExamView folder in the root of your hard drive. However, ExamView version 8.1 installers follow the software industry install path and install into the Program Files\eInstruction\ folder on the PC and the Applications\eInstruction\ folder on the MAC. If you have an earlier version of ExamView on your computer and you install ExamView version 8.1 or newer, the application and data files will install to a different location than your previous titles.
