SCADA Expert ClearSCADA 2013 R2 Operating System Support

📖 Home  Back  
Systems running on server hardware need to use server operating systems such as Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2003. Server operating systems are designed for servicing entire systems rather than individual computers or small networks and so are better suited for larger SCADA Expert ClearSCADA systems with more than two clients.

Systems running on desktop hardware should run desktop operating systems such as Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP. Desktop operating systems are designed for user interaction on the computer on which they are installed.

Desktop operating systems should not be used for servers with more than two clients as the TCP/IP security measures in these operating systems can cause significant delays.

Refer to the following table for supported Operating System versions:
