# Is Pantone Color Manager Still Available or Supported?

Pantone Color Manager software has been discontinued and is no longer supported or available for purchase.

Because the software is no longer maintained, it does not receive updates for newer computer operating systems. As a result, users may experience compatibility issues or find that the application no longer functions as expected on current Windows or macOS versions.

Pantone's current digital color platform is Pantone Connect. Pantone Connect provides access to Pantone color libraries and digital color workflows through a modern, actively maintained platform designed to support current operating systems and compatible design applications.

If you are using Pantone Color Manager and are looking for a current digital color solution, Pantone Connect is the recommended alternative.
