Asset R7 offers many new features and a new database design to overcome previous issues with more than 5 artists/genres/etc for a single track.
Windows Vista is the minimum supported version for the Windows line of Asset (XP no more), also the Windows Home Server versions will not be updated any more for the same reasons.
Changed license model so no free version
When purchasing new licenses, there is now a Universal platform option, instead of single platforms, also the new license allows installation on 5 platforms.
Existing Asset license owners can upgrade to the 5 platform / multi-platform license by follow the offer link on their Asset download page.
