Please review the release notes for more information about the changes included with this update. SocketTools 12 supports the current release of Windows 11 and Windows Server 2025. For the SocketTools Subscription and .NET Edition, this update includes .NET 10.0 assemblies for use with Visual Studio 2026 18.10 and later versions.
For the SocketTools Subscription and .NET Edition, this update includes builds which use the latest .NET SDKs. If your projects are using .NET 6.0 or .NET 7.0, remember that these versions are no longer supported by Microsoft. We will continue to include assemblies which target those versions to assist with migrating your projects, but it's recommended that you upgrade them to the latest Long Term Support (LTS) release. For Visual Studio 2022, this is .NET 8.0 (SDK 8.0.424 or later). For Visual Studio 2026, this is .NET 10 (SDK 10.0.400 or later).
You do not need to uninstall previous versions of SocketTools when installing this update. For example, if you also have SocketTools 10 or SocketTools 11 installed on your development system, you do not need to uninstall that version.
The SocketTools installer packages and components have been digitally signed with an extended validation (EV) Authenticode certificate which uses SHA-256 signatures.
