Application Compatibility Toolkit 20.0.713

The Application Compatibility Toolkit (ACT) is a software tool developed by Microsoft that helps organizations identify and resolve application compatibility issues before deploying them in their computing environment. ACT provides users with a range of assessment and mitigation tools that work together to improve the functionality of applications on different Windows operating systems.

The toolkit comprises of four main components: Compatibility Administrator, Standard User Analyzer, Compatibility Administrator Remote Server, and Compatibility Manager. The Compatibility Administrator is used to create custom compatibility fixes for applications, while the Standard User Analyzer determines whether an application can run without administrative privileges. The Compatibility Administrator Remote Server enables users to manage and distribute compatibility fixes across an organization from a central location. Lastly, the Compatibility Manager helps users to manage and view application compatibility information in one place.

ACT helps organizations improve their overall application compatibility and reduces the costs involved in deploying applications across multiple operating systems. By using ACT, organizations can identify potential issues with an application's compatibility, avoid downtime caused by compatibility issues, and ensure that their users are provided with applications that are functioning optimally.
