Nope. But if you are on Actuate maintenance, you can consider upgrade to the latest release which supports windows7.

First to answer your question Windows 7 cam out after Actuate 8 was retired so it could not have been supported. As an additional note are you aware that you can run your current Actuate reports on Maximo 7.5 using Maximo ERI and a current version of iServer? You might save cost in upgrading all the reports.

Yes, and it also requires a purchase from Actuate. This wiki page is a good starting point. <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://developer.actuate.com/deployment-center/integrating-birt-into-applications/birt-with-maximo/'>http://developer.actuate.com/deployment-center/integrating-birt-into-applications/birt-with-maximo/</a>
