Post From: 32-bit Builds of Sierra Chart to be Discontinued with Newer Versions

We are continuing to work on the low level changes to support microsecond time stamping as explained here:
True Millisecond/Microsecond Time Stamping and ACSIL

When this happens, custom studies compiled before this version will have to be recompiled on that version or later.

Since all existing custom studies as of that version will no longer be compatible unless they are recompiled, we do not see a practical need to be offering the 32-bit version of Sierra Chart since the main reason is compatibility with 32-bit custom studies.

There will still be 32-bit versions available of Sierra Chart but as of the transition, the newer versions will be 64-bit only.

95% of our users are running a 64-bit Operating system.

Update:

Furthermore, the plan to discontinue the 32-bit version will also discontinue support for the "Use Excel" option in the Spreadsheet study. If you need to have a direct interface to Microsoft Excel, you will need to use a version of Sierra Chart prior to this. The built-in Sierra Chart spreadsheets will continue to be fully functional. Nothing will change in that regard. (We will hold off on removing Microsoft Excel support until 2020)

Update 2019-09-25:

We will not be building the 32-bit version of Sierra Chart effective after October 1 2019. You will continue to be able to use older 32-bit versions of Sierra Chart.
