Operating systems supported by ID-software

ID-software can be installed and updated on Windows, macOS and Ubuntu operating systems supported by ID-software. ID-software does not support old operating systems (from 2020 Windows 7 and from spring 2022 Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows 32-bit operating systems, etc.) because the manufacturer no longer provides updates for them and the essential software components are not developed for them, that affect the operation of the ID-software on these systems. This means that even if the ID software could be updated on those operating systems, the ID-card would still not work on those operating systems for reasons beyond RIA's control. In addition, the use of operating systems for which the manufacturer no longer provides essential updates carries a high security risk.

We recommend updating your computer's operating system to use the ID-software. A list of operating systems supported by ID-Software can be found below.

If upgrading the operating system is not immediately possible, a mobile ID or an application created for smart devices called RIA DigiDoc can be used for digital signature.

The most recent software version can always be downloaded from the id.ee website, although ID-software also has other official distribution channels.
