Is InstallShield 2010 really necessary to support Windows 7 (versus using InstallShield 12)

I received an email from Flexera containing the following statement:

"We understand that many of our customers still using InstallShield 12 may have difficulty sending installations to Windows 7 desktop computers, 64-bit servers, or R2 2008.

Therefore, we would like to provide you this opportunity to resolve these potential / current problems and to update, despite the fact that InstallShield 12 was End of Lifed some time ago.

We ourselves had no problems. I am interested to know if anyone has any problems or is it fear in order to make us update without need.

I examined in detail the differences in the initial end-of-life notice, but could not see any problems that affected our installations.

Interestingly, they call it "amnesty" - almost implying that we are criminals for not updating (cf OED).

Our InstallStield 10.5 multi-platform installers work fine on W2K8 R2 and Windows 7.
