SCADA Expert ClearSCADA 2014 R1 Operating System Support

📖 Home  Back  
Systems running on server hardware need to use server operating systems such as Windows Server 2012 or Windows Server 2008. 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 8 or Windows 7. 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:

	32-Bit	64-Bit
Desktop Hardware	Windows 8.1 (Professional edition) - initial release Windows 8 (Professional edition) - initial release Windows 7 (Professional and Ultimate editions) - initial release and Service Pack 1	Windows 8.1 (Professional edition) - initial release Windows 8 (Professional edition) - initial release Windows 7 (Professional and Ultimate editions) - initial release and Service Pack 1

SCADA Expert ClearSCADA also requires Internet Explorer 8 (32-bit), 9 (32-bit), 10 (32 bit) or 11 (32-bit) for both software installation and web-based operation. WebX does not support other browsers.

Please refer to the Known Issues for more details about compatibility issues between ClearSCADA 2014 R1 and Internet Explorer 9/10/11.

ClearSCADA 2014 R1 does not include support for Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008 R1.

ClearSCADA's new ViewX Client application does not support Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2003 R2 and will not be functional. Only the ClearSCADA Server will be functional when installation is performed on these operating systems.
