This update is a direct response to what our users requested: a contemporary framework built for the devices they rely on today, along with tools that simplify their daily workflows.”— Dennis Bilowus, Chief Executive Officer, AEC SoftwareSTERLING, VA, UNITED STATES, September 14, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
AEC Software Introduces FastTrack Schedule 2026 With Multi-Level Undo, Cloud-Based Team Licensing, and Native Support for Apple Silicon and Windows 11 ARM64
The 40th-anniversary edition reengineers the project management solution trusted by a wide range of organizations—from Fortune 500 giants to local firms—for today’s Mac and PC environments, incorporating one-click reporting, dependency-chain filtering, and a new web-based license interface.
STERLING, Va., September 14, 2026 — AEC Software, Inc., the creator of FastTrack Schedule, has announced that FastTrack Schedule 2026, a significant new iteration of its project management and scheduling tool for Windows and Mac, is now widely accessible. This version represents the most extensive upgrade in the product’s recent past, combining a fully updated 64-bit architecture across both systems with functionalities shaped by ongoing user feedback.
FastTrack Schedule 2026 operates as a 64-bit Universal binary on macOS, fully compatible with both Intel and Apple processors from M1 through M5, and works with macOS 14 Sonoma through macOS 26 Tahoe, with readiness for the upcoming macOS 27 Golden Gate. On the Windows side, the software is a native 64-bit application supporting Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows 11 on ARM64. Projects remain entirely cross-platform, allowing files to be transferred between Mac and Windows without any conversion steps.
One of the most frequently requested features is Multi-Level Undo, enabling users to revert through numerous recent changes rather than just the most recent one. The update also debuts Filter by Task Predecessors and Successors, which highlights a task’s full dependency sequence in one action—a key function for evaluating how modifications might affect larger schedules downstream. Additionally, up to 10 baselines support progress monitoring and scenario analysis against various saved plan versions.
For collaborative teams, FastTrack Schedule 2026 introduces Multi-User Licensing with cloud-managed floating and assigned seats, overseen through a new online license portal. This portal aims to streamline deployment and seat oversight for organizations using the software across various departments, replacing manual license management with centralized control.
The release further enhances interoperability and usability. Microsoft Project files from versions 2019 through 2024 can now be imported directly, without needing Java—eliminating a previous requirement. Visual upgrades include a refreshed Gantt chart, comprehensive Dark Mode support, extra color schemes, HD color and High DPI compatibility, an improved Critical Path view, a non-working-time indicator on bars, and AutoFit+ for automatic row and column adjustments. One-click reporting generates formatted project summaries and PDF outputs without an extra export step. On macOS, the update adds iCloud document handling with version history and Finder Tags integration.
"For four decades, our customers have used FastTrack Schedule to manage some of the most challenging projects worldwide," said Dennis Bilowus, Chief Executive Officer of AEC Software. "This version embodies their requests: a modern base for the hardware they currently use, and the practical tools—multi-level undo, dependency filtering, one-click reporting—that streamline their everyday tasks."
AEC Software has been developing FastTrack Schedule since 1985. The platform is utilized by project teams across construction, engineering, aerospace, government, education, manufacturing, and IT sectors, at entities ranging from multinational corporations to small enterprises.
