Nx Witness VMS is a cross-platform application suite and is supported on the major operating systems. The advantage of cross-platform functionality is that, as an example, a Windows instance of Nx Witness will work and communicate with an Ubuntu instance, which will work and communicate with a macOS instance, etc.
Network Optix announces support for new operating systems in the release notes of each Nx Witness release and updates this article according to that information. Network Optix ends support for operating systems in the Nx Witness release that occurs after the manufacturer's End of Support (EoS) date.
