Transition Path for Existing Customers

The transition path for existing customers is as follows:

Current OS	Description	Comment
Devices running Windows 8.1	Users with devices running Windows 8.1 can switch to SafeNet MobilePASS 8.4 for Windows Store or continue using MobilePASS 8.4 for Windows Desktop when applicable.	MobilePASS 8.4 for Windows Desktop and SafeNet MobilePASS 8.4 for Windows Store can be installed side by side on the same device (with supported devices).
