LSP on Windows 8

[Christmasaddict]

I am using LSP V2.5 and am wondering if it will run on my new computer with Windows 8.  I sent a question to LSP but haven't gotten an answer.

Yes. n8huntsman posted the question on the lsp forum. there were a few issues  but they were fixed.

Here is my situation.  I was using LSP v2.5 on my old W-XP computer.  I have purchased a new system running W-8.  I have not installed any version of LSP on my new computer.  Do I need to install V2.5 and THEN update with V2.8? Or can I simply download V2.8 on my new system and be good to go.  As I understood it V2.5 was not compatible with W-8.  Please help.  The instructions on the LSP website were not clear.

Just download and install 2.8

I thought 2.8 was just the SCHEDULAR..

No the sequencer is also v2.8. However is has not been completely rewritten from the ground up like the scheduler was. That will happen in 2014. So this v2.8 is based on v2.5 with a lot of bug fixes and they will continue fixing bugs that are found for the rest of this year. But the playback engine is more efficient in the new scheduler until the sequencer gets the rewrite and they recommend using it to test live output.
