# Software Requirements

The WorkSpaces Manager Portal is compatible with current version of **Windows Server 2016, 2019, 2022, and 2025**, but only supports 64-bit versions. Furthermore, only EC2 virtual instances hosted on AWS are supported.

{% hint style="info" %}
Windows Server 2016 reaches its official End of Life (EOL) on **January 12, 2027**. After this date, Microsoft will no longer provide essential security patches, bug fixes, or technical support, leaving systems vulnerable to cyberattacks and compliance issues.
{% endhint %}

The WorkSpaces Manager installer comes with all required software components for the solution, which are as follows:

• **Microsoft® .NET Core Runtime 9.x** or higher\
• **Microsoft SQL Server** Express or higher

{% hint style="danger" %}
**WorkSpaces Manager** must be joined to the AD Domain prior to starting the configuration. If it is not properly joined, an error will appear when attempting to save the configuration during the first login.
{% endhint %}

Since the **WorkSpaces Management Portal** utilizes IIS with Single Sign-On, the appliance must be a member of the Active Directory Forest/Domain. If the WorkSpaces Manager Portal is used to provision user accounts in AD, an service account will be required with delegated access to the Organizational Units (OUs) where WorkSpaces accounts will be created. For more details, please refer to the  [Administrator Active Directory Permission](/install/appendices/administrator-active-directory-permissions.md) section for details.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Supported Browsers (minimum version)**:

* **Chrome**: 22.x
* **Firefox**: 12.x
* **Opera**: 12.x
* **Safari**: 5.1.x
* **Microsoft Edge**: 88.x
  {% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.nuvens.cloud/install/portal-requirements/software-requirements.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
