Please read more for important updates from M3 regarding M3's response to COVID-19 and pushing back the sunset dates for Operations Management and Windows 7 access to Accounting Core. 

• Microsoft will be ending support/security updates for their Windows 7 Operating System on January 14^th, 2020.  It is not M3’s practice to allow access via unsupported operating systems. In harmony with Microsoft’s decision, M3 will follow suit.  On April 15, 2020, M3 Accounting Core users who are still using Windows 7 will be unable to access the platform.  Please consider updating your operating system to Windows 10 prior to that time to insure continued access to Accounting Core.
• This means after January 14, 2020 Microsoft will not be providing security updates or supporting any updates to Microsoft Windows 7 Operating system, which could ultimately put your computer at risk.
• Due to Microsoft Windows 7 ending support January 14, 2020; on April 15, 2020 M3 customers whose computers are still utilizing Microsoft Windows 7 will be blocked from accessing clientportal.m3as.com and Accounting Core. 
• Internet Explorer is no longer supported by Microsoft and no longer permitted to access Accounting Core. We suggest using Chrome or Firefox if on Windows 7 for the remainder of time in which Windows 7 is still being supported.
• Our goal is to provide a reasonable amount of  time between Microsoft ending support for Windows 7 on January 14, 2020 and M3’s blocking access to clientportal.m3as.com and Accounting Core on April 15, 2020.  Please update your Microsoft Windows 7 operating system to a supported version such as Microsoft Windows 10 prior to April 15, 2020.
• If your organization has any questions please contact Tech Support by way of a case at help.m3as.com or call 770.297.3347.
