Access control applications with large numbers of controllers and/or cardholders should always consider upgrading from the minimum recommendation. Operating System compatibility is listed in section 2.
Note: PC capability, cost, and accessibility is constantly changing. This document provides Keri's recommendations, but is subject to change as PC hardware changes.

Windows v8.1 or greater
Windows Server 2012 or greater *
Microsoft .NET Framework v4.8.0 or greater. This version of .NET Framework is required to take advantage of all enhancements implemented in Doors.NET v4.8.0.
.NET Framework 2.0/3.5 is not typically installed on Windows 10. Before installing SQL Express 2014, you will have to install .NET Framework 2.0/3.5. You must have an active Internet connection to complete this installation.
If you do not know the type of microprocessor/operating system your PC uses, you can find this information by running Microsoft’s System Information utility. This utility is a part of your operating system. The microprocessor type is found under System Summary > System Type. Your System Type will be listed as either "x64-based PC" for 64-bit microprocessors or "x86-based PC" for 32-bit microprocessors.

Doors.NET Series 4 Software Notes:
Doors.NET series 4 is not compatible with Aimetis Symphony and Panasonic Video as these systems are dependent upon an older version of Microsoft .NET Framework software. This is likely true for other, older video systems as well.
Keri has ended support for ASSA Wi-Fi/PoE locking products.
The new Visual Doors client is installed with series 4 and 5 software. It is not available for use with older versions of Doors.NET.
Server 2012 and Server 2012R2 is compatible with v4.8.0 and above but for new installations you should install v4.4.0 first. Installing v4.4.0 will also install SQL Express 2016 (which is the last supported SQL version for this operating system). You can then upgrade to the most current Doors.NET version - as the system will then use the existing SQL Express 2016 database engine.

Important Note:
Doors.NET Series 3 software is no longer in development as it uses an out of date version of Microsoft's .NET Framework. Keri strongly recommends you update your PC hardware and operating system to stay current with Microsoft system requirements to be capable of running the Doors.NET Series 4 and 5 software.
