  • Windows Server 2016 (x64)

  • Windows Server 2019 (x64)

* NOT recommended because of strong IIS request limits (10 concurrent requests maximum). User experience might be severely degraded for more than three users. In addition, the corresponding "Home" editions are not supported as operating systems for server machines.
Further restrictions:
Amazon Web Services (AWS) are not supported for running DocuWare, neither for servers nor for clients.
Terminal servers and domain controllers are not supported for DocuWare Server installations.

When official Microsoft support for a version of the operating system expires, DocuWare also discontinues support for that version at the same time. The end of support will not be communicated separately. Server and Client Setup will display warnings for unsupported operating systems in this case. The setup can still be executed.
