@Mint,
The Windows Enterprise LTSC edition is typically used by large companies/institutions: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/window...c/overview.
The Hasleo Team made the decision to exclude it from the free version because it would normally be used in such environments. With the introduction of the Hasleo Backup Suite Pro (HBSP) paid version, it was decided to restrict LTSC support to the Pro version on the assumption that large corporations/institutions could afford to pay for their imaging programs. This decision was supported by many in their user/customer base, me included. We were consulted.
The average individual person uses Windows Home or Pro. Those HBS customers of the free version were not, and are, not affected by this business model decision. The paid Pro version must offer capabilities that the free version does not, to provide incentive to customers to pay for the HBSP product. The Hasleo Team has to make money to continue their laudable development as a first-rate imaging product.
I concur with you. I hope that you will consider purchasing the Pro version to help in future Hasleo Backup Suite development.
Have a great day.
Regards,
Phil
