For information about prerequisite software such as the .NET Framework, see [App-V prerequisites](appv-prerequisites.md). ## App-V Server system requirements This section lists the operating system and hardware requirements for all App-V server components. ### Unsupported App-V server scenarios The App-V server does not support the following scenarios: * Deployment to a computer that runs the Server Core installation option. * Deployment to a computer that runs a previous version of the App-V server components. You can only install App-V side-by-side with the App-V 4.5 Lightweight Streaming Server (LWS) server. This scenario doesn't support side-by-side deployment of App-V and the Application Virtualization Management Service (HWS) 4.x. * Deployment to a computer running Microsoft SQL Server Express edition. * Deployment to a domain controller. * Short paths. If you plan to use a short path, you must create a new volume. ### Management server operating system requirements You can install the App-V Management server on a server running Windows Server 2008 R2 with SP1 or later. >[!IMPORTANT] >Deploying a Management server role to a computer with Remote Desktop Services enabled is not supported. ### Management server hardware requirements * A 64-bit (x64) processor that runs at 1.4 GHz or faster. * 1 GB RAM (64-bit). * 200 MB of available hard disk space, not including the content directory. ### Management server database requirements The following table lists the SQL Server versions that the App-V Management database installation supports. |SQL Server version|Service pack|System architecture| |---|---|---| |Microsoft SQL Server 2017||32-bit or 64-bit| |Microsoft SQL Server 2016|SP2|32-bit or 64-bit| |Microsoft SQL Server 2014||32-bit or 64-bit| |Microsoft SQL Server 2012|SP2|32-bit or 64-bit| |Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2|SP3|32-bit or 64-bit| ### Publishing server operating system requirements The App-V Publishing server can be installed on a server that runs Windows Server 2008 R2 with SP1 or later. ### Publishing server hardware requirements App-V adds no additional requirements beyond those of Windows Server. * A 64-bit (x64) processor that runs at 1.4 GHz or faster. * 2 GB RAM (64-bit). * 200 MB of available hard disk space, not including the content directory. ### Reporting server operating system requirements You can install the App-V Reporting server on a server running Windows Server 2008 R2 with SP1 or later. ### Reporting server hardware requirements App-V adds no additional requirements beyond those of Windows Server. * A 64-bit (x64) processor that runs at 1.4 GHz or faster. * 2 GB RAM (64-bit). * 200 MB of available hard disk space, not including the content directory. ### Reporting server database requirements The following table lists the SQL Server versions that are supported for the App-V Reporting database installation. |SQL Server version|Service pack|System architecture| |---|---|---| |Microsoft SQL Server 2017||32-bit or 64-bit| |Microsoft SQL Server 2016|SP2|32-bit or 64-bit| |Microsoft SQL Server 2014||32-bit or 64-bit| |Microsoft SQL Server 2012|SP2|32-bit or 64-bit| |Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2|SP3|32-bit or 64-bit| ## App-V client and Remote Desktop Services client requirements With Windows 10, version 1607 and later releases, the App-V client is included with Windows 10 Enterprise and Windows 10 Education. The App-V client is no longer part of the Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack. Before you can use the App-V client, it must be enabled, as described in [Enable the App-V desktop client](appv-enable-the-app-v-desktop-client.md). Similarly, the App-V Remote Desktop Services (RDS) client is included with Windows Server 2016 Standard and Windows Server 2016 Datacenter. ## Sequencer system requirements The following table lists the operating systems that the App-V Sequencer installation supports. |Operating system|Service pack|System architecture| |---|---|---| |Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2||64-bit| |Microsoft Windows Server 2012||64-bit| |Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2|SP1|64-bit| |Microsoft Windows 10||32-bit and 64-bit| |Microsoft Windows 8.1||32-bit and 64-bit| |Microsoft Windows 8||32-bit and 64-bit| |Microsoft Windows 7|SP1|32-bit and 64-bit| ### Sequencer hardware requirements See the Windows or Windows Server documentation for the hardware requirements. ## Supported versions of System Center Configuration Manager The App-V client works with System Center Configuration Manager versions starting with Technical Preview for System Center Configuration Manager, version 1606. ## Related topics * [Planning to deploy App-V](appv-planning-to-deploy-appv.md) * [App-V prerequisites](appv-prerequisites.md)
