EEE Software Requirements

EEE leverages the Microsoft .Net framework, SQL Server and SQL Server Reporting Services software components and as such, specific versions of EEE have explicit dependencies on a certain versions these components.

Although we recommend running current, updated and supported operating systems, there is no explicit block or operating system requirement. However this may be limited by the version of the software components (e.g. .Net framework) available for that Operating System.

See here for more information about the .Net framework requirements.

Please refer to the table below for minimum requirements for EEE.
