FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich. – June 4, 2026 – Effective June 4, DG Technologies has officially discontinued support for our DPA 5 and older model Dearborn Protocol Adapter hardware. To ensure optimal performance and security, we encourage customers to upgrade to our latest DPA XL adapter, enhanced with CyberGuard™ protection, advanced features and full Windows compatibility.
What This Means for You
As technology evolves, older hardware can no longer support the advanced software and security protocols required by modern Windows operating systems. Because the DPA 5 is more than 10 years old, it will no longer function with computers that have the latest security updates for the Windows 11 operating system.
Please Note:
- All Attempts Exhausted: We have attempted multiple solutions to gain exemption from Microsoft, to no avail.
- No Further Updates: The DPA 5 and earlier DPA legacy hardware will not receive any further software updates or patches.
- System Requirements: Continued use of this device may result in compatibility issues and performance limitations.
Upgrade to the Latest Technology
To maintain a seamless workflow and experience the best DG has to offer, we encourage you to upgrade to our DPA XL.
The New DPA XL Features:
- Enhanced Performance: Faster processing and improved reliability.
- Modern Connectivity: Full compatibility with the latest Windows environments and OEM software, including DG Diagnostics.
- Upgraded Support and New Hardware: Priority technical assistance and hardware. This new hardware and software architecture has been fully developed in-house with the latest CyberGuard protections and in cooperation with Microsoft and in compliance with industry standards.
