Software Requirements

Note:

The setup file will check your machine for whether the prerequisite software is installed and will install any missing prerequisites and the product components.
This product includes OpenSSL version 1.1.1c.

Before installing this product, you must have the following software installed on your computer:

The Microsoft .NET Framework - the setup file installs the .NET Framework 4.5.2 . You might need to install the following version of the .NET framework manually, if it is targeted by your applications:
- Microsoft .NET Framework 2 - if your applications use the ILCLR(2) Compiler Directive or if they target the .NET Framework versions 2, 3 or 3.5. You might need to download these installers depending on the .NET Framework you are targeting.
  To download the Microsoft .NET Framework 2 click here.
  
  Microsoft .NET Framework 2 or later is also required for the Micro Focus License Manager if you install this on a separate machine as a license server.
Note:
- .NET Framework 3 is provided with Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008.
- .NET Framework 3.5 is provided with Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2.
- .NET Framework 4.0 is provided with Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2.
- .NET Framework 4.5 is provided with Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012.

Microsoft's Web Platform Installer 2.0 if your application targets ASP.NET 4. This installs and sets up ASP.NET. To download the installer click here.

A Web browser is required for Enterprise Server Administration in Enterprise Server.
To use your Web browser offline, you need the dial-up networking feature of Windows installed. Otherwise you might have TCP/IP errors such as being unable find "localhost" or the numeric equivalent (127.0.0.1).
To use Enterprise Server Administration, scripting or JavaScript support must be enabled in your browser. This is on by default in Internet Explorer in most Windows operating systems. Also, active content must be allowed and not blocked. To enable both these in Internet Explorer:
1. Click Tools > Internet Options.
2. On the Security tab, click Custom Level. In the Scripting section, under Active Scripting, click Enable.
3. On the Advanced tab, scroll down the list to the Security section, and ensure the item Allow active content to run in files on My Computer is checked.
Enterprise Server Help requires the Java Runtime Environment on some Windows systems to enable the Search facility to work.

Important: For local servers, you do not need to install the Micro Focus License Administration tool separately, as the setup file installs a new Enterprise Developer client and a new licensing server on the same machine.

If you have any network license servers, you must update them before you update the client machines.

If you are upgrading from Enterprise Developer release 2.2 or earlier, uninstall the license manager before installing the product.

You can download the new version of the license server software from the Micro Focus SupportLine Web site: http://supportline.microfocus.com.
