Operating system - Windows based operating system required

Windows 10 Windows Server 2016 Windows Server 2019

For maintainable systems we strongly recommend at least Windows 10 or Windows Server 2016 (or higher), except NETx KNX OPC Server 3.5.
Our products basically also run on older Windows versions down to Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008. However, due to limited future support for
these operating systems by Microsoft we will not be able to provide full support for our software running on these systems.

Hardware

Any device that supports Microsoft Windows can be used Use of virtualization environments possible

Requirements depend on project size
